About this unit
Have you ever watched a slinky gyrate back and forth? This is an example of harmonic motion, a special class of oscillatory motion. In this unit, we'll see how we can model and deal with this type of phenomena.AP® is a registered trademark of the College Board, which has not reviewed this resource.
