  2. Simple harmonic motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_harmonic_motion

    The motion of a particle moving along a straight line with an acceleration whose direction is always toward a fixed point on the line and whose magnitude is proportional to the displacement from the fixed point is called simple harmonic motion. [2] In the diagram, a simple harmonic oscillator, consisting of a weight attached to one end of a ...

  3. Harmonic oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_oscillator

    A simple harmonic oscillator is an oscillator that is neither driven nor damped.It consists of a mass m, which experiences a single force F, which pulls the mass in the direction of the point x = 0 and depends only on the position x of the mass and a constant k.

  4. Pendulum (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pendulum_(mechanics)

    The animations below depict the motion of a simple (frictionless) pendulum with increasing amounts of initial displacement of the bob, or equivalently increasing initial velocity. The small graph above each pendulum is the corresponding phase plane diagram; the horizontal axis is displacement and the vertical axis is velocity. With a large ...

  5. Phase space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_space

    Diagram showing the periodic orbit of a mass-spring system in simple harmonic motion. (The velocity and position axes have been reversed from the standard convention in order to align the two diagrams)

  6. Harmonograph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonograph

    Even a simple harmonograph as described can create ellipses, spirals, figure eights and other Lissajous figures. More complex harmonographs incorporate three or more pendulums or linked pendulums together (for example, hanging one pendulum off another), or involve rotary motion, in which one or more pendulums is mounted on gimbals to allow ...

  7. Orbit (dynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbit_(dynamics)

    Diagram showing the periodic orbit of a mass-spring system in simple harmonic motion. (Here the velocity and position axes have been reversed from the standard convention in order to align the two diagrams) Given a dynamical system (T, M, Φ) with T a group, M a set and Φ the evolution function

    This simple and healthy broccoli soup gets its flavor from a mixture of aromatic vegetables, including leeks and celery. Using an immersion blender (or regular blender) gives it a smooth, creamy ...

  9. Phase portrait - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_portrait

    Simple pendulum, see picture (right). Simple harmonic oscillator where the phase portrait is made up of ellipses centred at the origin, which is a fixed point. Damped harmonic motion, see animation (right). Van der Pol oscillator see picture (bottom right).
