Oscillations Flashcards
1
Q
What is a free vibration?
A
Vibrations (oscillations) where there is no damping and no periodic force acting on the system, so the amplitude of the oscillations is constant.
2
Q
What is the amplitude of oscillation?
A
The maximum displacement of the oscillating object from its equilibrium position
3
Q
What is the time period of the oscillation motion?
A
The time for one complete cycle of oscillation.
4
Q
What is the frequency of the oscillation motion?
A
The number of cycles per second made by an oscillating object.
5
Q
What is the phase difference of two oscillating objects?
A
2π*t/T
