Modeling simple harmonic motion
Use Newton's second law to develop differential equations that describe the motion of spring-mass oscillators, simple pendulums, and physical pendulums. Explore how the solutions to these differential equations predict the simple harmonic motion and periods observed for real systems. Discover the conditions that lead to resonance.
