This document summarizes oscillatory motion and simple harmonic motion. It describes how oscillatory motion involves periodic movement like that of a mass-spring system without friction. The motion of such a system can be modeled using Newton's second law, resulting in a differential equation of the form d2x/dt2 = -kx, where k is a constant. This has the form of a simple harmonic motion equation. Other examples of simple harmonic motion discussed include angular simple harmonic motion using a simple pendulum, as well as damped simple harmonic motion where a frictional force is present. Key characteristics of simple harmonic motion like amplitude, angular velocity, phase constant, and the sinusoidal nature of the position, velocity and acceleration functions are also
