A2 Level Physics Oscillations 1 Live Class

In this chapter you will learn how to:
give examples of free and forced oscillations use appropriate terminology to describe oscillations use the equation a = −ω^2x to define simple harmonic motion (s.h.m.) recall and use equations for displacement and velocity in s.h.m. draw and use graphical representations of s.h.m. describe energy changes during s.h.m. recall and use , where E is the total energy of a system undergoing simple harmonic motion describe the effects of damping on oscillations and draw graphs showing these effects understand that resonance involves a maximum amplitude of oscillation understand that resonance occurs when an oscillating system is forced to oscillate at its naturalfrequency.
