SIMPLE HARMONIC OSCILLATORS (Oscillatory motion)
why oscillators do what they do as well as where the speed, acceleration, and force will be largest and smallest.
Created by David SantoPietro.


DEFINITION OF AMPLITUDE & PERIOD (Oscillatory motion)
The terms Amplitude and Period and how to find them on a graph.
Created by David SantoPietro.


EQUATION FOR SIMPLE HARMONIC OSCILLATORS (Oscillatory motion)
The equation that represents the motion of a simple harmonic oscillator and solves an example problem.
Created by David SantoPietro.

PERIOD DEPENDENCE FOR MASS ON A STRING (Oscillatory motion)
In this video, David explains what affects the period of a mass on a spring (i.e. mass and spring constant). He also explains what does not affect the period of a mass on a spring (i.e. amplitude and gravitational acceleration). Created by David SantoPietro.

PHASE CONSTANT (Oscillatory motion)
How a phase constant can be used in order to shift the graph of an oscillator left or right. Created by David SantoPietro.

PENDULUMS (Oscillatory motion)
How a pendulum can be treated as a simple harmonic oscillator, and then explains what affects, as well as what does not affect, the period of a pendulum. Created by David SantoPietro.

HARMONIC MOTION (Oscillatory motion)
Intuition behind the motion of a mass on a spring (some calculus near the end). Created by Sal Khan.

HARMONIC MOTION PART 2 (Oscillatory motion)
We test whether Acos(wt) can describe the motion of the mass on a spring by substituting into the differential equation F=-kx.
Created by Sal Khan.

HARMONIC MOTION PART 3 (Oscillatory motion)
Figuring out the period, frequency, and amplitude of the harmonic motion of a mass attached to a spring.
Created by Sal Khan.
