The document discusses vibration, defining it as the back and forth motion of objects through a balance point. It provides definitions for key terms related to vibration, including amplitude, period, and frequency. The period is the time for one full vibration, while frequency is the number of vibrations per second. Several formulas are provided to calculate period and frequency based on number of vibrations and time. An example calculation is given to find the period and frequency of a swing vibrating 80 times in 20 seconds.
