This study guide covers Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM), including key examples like mass-spring systems and pendulums. It explains restoring force (F = -kx) and its role in SHM. The guide also reviews period, frequency, and amplitude, providing equations for calculating period for both pendulums and mass-spring systems. Finally, it touches upon energy conservation, graphical analysis of SHM, and offers example problems and practice questions.
