Simple harmonic motion
Oscillations with a particular pattern of speeds and accelerations occur commonly in nature and in human artefacts. They also happen in musical instruments making very pure musical notes, and so they are called 'simple harmonic motion', or S.H.M.
These experiments are suitable for students at an advanced level of study. For introductory and intermediate levels, see the related collection Oscillations.
