Simple harmonic motion is typified by the
motion
of a mass on a spring when it is
subject to the linear elastic restoring force
given by Hooke's Law.
The motion is sinusoidal in time and demonstrates a single resonant frequency.

Simple Harmonic Motion Equations
The motion equation for simple harmonic motion
contains
a complete description
of the motion, and other parameters of the motion
can be calculated from it.


The velocity and acceleration are given by

The total energy for an undamped oscillator
is
the sum of its kinetic energy
and potential energy which is constant at

Or,
the way we MIT grads remember learning
it at The Old Howard burlesque theater
in Scollay Square, Boston...circa 1953
