2. 1. What is the similarity between the movements seen in the video material?

• All the motions display oscillatory motion
• Oscillatory motion: The to and fro motion of a
body about its mean position

3. 2. What is the difference between oscillatory movement and other types of movement?

• Oscillatory movement repeats itself after
regular intervals of time (a period)
• Other types of motion involve a singular
action – like throwing a rock from a cliff.”

4. 3. Can you give some more examples of oscillating movement?

• Mass-spring oscillators
• Simple pendulums
• Bending beam oscillators
• Trolley tethered between two fixed supports
by springs
• Wooden blocks bobbing
in a container of water
