physics 1 lab-simple harmonic motion

Document preview thumbnail
Preview 1 out of 1 pages

The notes for the physics lab on simple harmonic motion explore the oscillatory motion of systems like springs and pendulums. Key concepts include amplitude, period, frequency, and the relationship between restoring force and displacement. The lab involves measuring periods and analyzing factors like mass, spring constant, or length to verify the theoretical equations governing simple harmonic motion.
