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.
