Periodic motion is a motion of an object that regularly repeat—the object
returns to a given position after a fixed time interval. With little thought, we can
identify several types of periodic motion in everyday life. Your car returns to the
driveway each afternoon. You return to the dinner table every night to eat. A bumped
chandelier swing back and forth, returning to the same position at a regular rate. The
Earth return to same position in its orbit around the Sun each year, resulting in the
variation among the four seasons. The Moon return to the same relationship with the
Earth and the Sun, resulting in a full Moon approximately once a month.
Figure 3.1 The Motion of the swing is an example of periodic motion.
A body undergoing periodic motions
always has a stable equilibrium position.
The equilibrium position , otherwise
known as resting position , is the position
assumed by the body when it is not
vibrating. This equilibrium position is
represented by position B of the boy in
the swing and figure 3.1. When the boy is
displaced from its equilibrium position to
position A, a restoring force(gravity) acts
on it to pull it back toward position B.
A restoring force is the force that tends to restore a body from its
displacement to its equilibrium position. By the time the boy reaches position B, the
body has gained kinetic energy, overshoots this position, moves, and stops
somewhere on the other side (Position C). The body is again pulled back towards
equilibrium. Vibrations about this equilibrium position results only from the action of
the restoring force.
The amplitude (A) of vibration is the maximum displacement of a body from
its equilibrium position. This is represented by the displacement from position B to
position A or from position B to position C.
The period (T) of a body in periodic motion is the time required to make a
complete to-and-fro motion. One complete to-and-fro motion is called a cycle.
Referring to figure 3.1, the motion of the swing from position A to position C and
back to position A is one cycle. Period is usually in seconds.
Frequency (f) is the number of the cycle per unit time. It's SI unit is the hertz,
abbreviated as Hz. One (1) hertz equals one cycle per second. Frequency is the
reciprocal of period.
f =
Sometimes, angular frequency (ω) is use instead of frequency. Angular
frequency is commonly express in radians per second. The relationship between
angular frequency and frequency is given by
ω = 2 π f ∨ ω =
2 π

a) Do you think this system motion would fall under the classification of simple
harmonic motion? Provide as much evidences as you can for your answer.
b) Do your answers to A and B above matches a spring/mass system or a
pendulum? How so?
c) Do you think this system can be modeled as pendulum, spring, or neither?
What are your reasons for each?
A very common type of periodic motion is what we called simple harmonic
motion (SHM). It is a type of periodic motion where the restoring force is
proportional to the displacement of the body from its equilibrium position. This
restoring force act in a direction opposite that of the displacement.
In equation,
s
=− kx
where,
s
is the restoring force or spring force
x is the displacement from the equilibrium position
k is a proportionality constant
The negative sign simply means that the restoring force and displacement are
oppositely directed. We call this restoring force because it is always directed toward
the equilibrium position and therefore opposite the displacement from equilibrium.
A system that oscillate with SHM is called simple harmonic oscillator. The
simplest form of a simple harmonic oscillator is a body of mass m oscillating on one
end of an elastic spring also known as the mass-spring system.
In the model for simple harmonic motion, consider a block of mass m attached
to the end of a spring, with the block free to move on a horizontal, frictionless surface
Figure 3.2.
Note that the amount of the spring is negligible to the amount of stretching for
compressing force.
An external force can cause object, like spring, to stretch or compressed by a
certain displacement x (figure 3.2). This force is numerically equal to the restoring
force but opposite in direction. Thus,

Equation 3.
Figure 3.2. A block attached to a spring moving on a
frictionless surface.
(a) Stretched spring. When the block is displaced to
the right of equilibrium (x > 0), the force exerted by
the spring acts to the left.
(b) When the block is at its equilibrium position (x =
0), the force exerted by the spring is zero.
(c) Compressed spring. When the block is displaced
to the left of equilibrium (x < 0), the force exerted by
the spring acts to the right.
F = kx
The proportionality constant ( k) is what we called the force constant of the
spring. It is the force needed to produce a unit of elongation or compression of the
spring and has the unit of N/m.
The force constant k is measure of the stiffness of the spring. A small value of
k indicates that the spring can be easily stretched or compressed. In other words,
springs with lesser spring constants will have greater displacements than those with
larger spring constants for the same amount of force applied.

What’s In
In the previous lesson, we recognized the necessary conditions
for a periodic motion to be classified as a simple harmonic motion. In this lesson, will
learn the concept of simple pendulum and physical pendulum as well as how to
calculate the period and the frequency of simple and physical pendulum.
A pendulum is any object which can swing freely from a pivot point under the
influence of gravity.
What I Need to Know
After this lesson, you should be able to:
and physical pendulum (STEM_GP12PM-Ilc-27)
The simple pendulum is another mechanical system that exhibit
periodic motion. It consists of a particle-like bob of mass m suspended by a light
string of length L that is fixed at the upper end, as shown in Figure 3.3.
The motion occurs in the vertical plane and it is
driven by
the
gravitational force. We shall show that,

Figure 3.3 When ϴ is small, a simple pendulum oscillates
in simple harmonic motion about the equilibrium position.
ϴ = 0. The restoring force is –mg sinϴ, the component of
the gravitational force tangent to the arc
provided the angle. is small (less than about 10°), the motion is very close to that of
simple harmonic oscillator.
The forces acting on the bob are the force T exerted by the string and the
gravitational force mg. The tangential component mg sin ϴ. of the gravitational force
always acts toward ϴ=0, opposite the displacement of the bob from the lowest
position. Therefore, the tangential component is a restoring force, and we can apply
Newton’s second law for motion in the tangential direction:

=− mg sinϴ = m

where s is the bob’s position measured along the arc and the negative sign indicates
that the tangential force acts toward the equilibrium (vertical) position.
The period of the motion is T = 2 π
√
g
In other words, the period and frequency of a simple pendulum depends only on
the length of the string and the acceleration due to gravity. The simple pendulum can
be used as timekeeper because its period depends only on its length and the local
value of g. It is also a convenient device for making precise measurements of the
freefall acceleration. Such measurements are important because variation in local
values of g can provide information on the location of oil and of other valuable
underground resources.
Based on the equation, the period of a simple pendulum is governed by the
following laws.

solutions to the problems. Be sure that the problems are not taken from the internet
and that they are realistic.
We learned from Lesson 1 of this
module that there are many kinds of motion that repeat themselves over and over.
We call this motion as periodic motion or oscillation. As you read through the
concepts of Lesson 1, you realized that periodic motion is used to model a wide
range of physical phenomena. It is also important because it generates waves, which
is the focus of this lesson. Many of the terms and equations we used in Lesson 1 to
2 will be applied in this lesson as we study wave motion especially that of the
mechanical waves.
