Oscillations and the SHM test

Oscillations and the SHM test

Displacement, velocity, acceleration and acceleration-displacement graphs for SHM, showing displacement and acceleration in antiphase, velocity a quarter cycle out of phase, and a straight-line negative-gradient acceleration-displacement graph An oscillation is repeated motion about an equilibrium position, where the resultant force would be zero if the object were placed there at rest. A restoring force acts back towards equilibrium, so it tries to reduce the displacement.

Step-by-step lessons on Eduqas A Level Physics Vibrations. Each one builds up to exam-style questions. Physics is one of the most mathematically demanding A Levels -- a minimum of 40% of the marks require maths skills at Level 2 (GCSE) standard or above, so build calculation and graph-handling fluency alongside the conceptual content from the start.
