SHM Intro

• Objectives
• (a) describe simple examples of free
  oscillations
• (b) define and use the terms displacement,
  amplitude, period, frequency, angular frequency
  and phase difference
• (c) select and use the equation period
  1/frequency
• (h) explain that the period of an object with
  simple harmonic motion is independent of its
  amplitude
