Mechanical
vibrations and
waves.
A special kind of uneven movement is
oscillatory. This is a movement that
repeats over time. Mechanical vibrations
are movements that repeat at regular
intervals. If the time intervals are the same,
then such oscillations are called periodic.
Oscillatory system
This is a system of interacting bodies (at least
two bodies) that are capable of making
oscillations. The simplest oscillatory systems
are pendulums.
Oscillation characteristic
Phase determines the state of the system,
namely the coordinate, speed, acceleration,
energy, etc.
