This resource examines how to determine the maximum speed of an oscillating system. It discusses how the concept of law of energy can be applied in solving these types of problems.

The motion of three simple harmonic oscillators is animated to illustrate the effects of mass and spring constant upon the motion. Several equations and a lengthy discussion accompany the animations.

A series of graphics, downloadable animations and text describe and explain the motion of a pendulum. Some sections require an understanding of calculus.

A collection of video lectures from a physics course focusing on vibration and waves taught at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The course overviews topics dealing with mechanical vibration and waves with twenty-three lectures....
