At your lab table you will find equipment to set up a form of oscillatory motion. Carefully set your system into motion and observe the resulting motion. Then answer the questions below. These questions should guide you in planning your presentation.

1) Define oscillation

2) What object is undergoing oscillatory motion?

3) Describe the position of your object over time

4) Describe the velocity of your object over time

5) What forces are present in your system?

6) Describe the behavior of net force acting on your object over time.

7) Name and Define three ways to measure oscillatory motion that could be used to compare and contrast different oscillatory motions.
