The Physics Secret
SHM happens because of a Restoring Force. The further you pull the block, the harder the spring pulls back!
F = -k * xHooke’s Law: Force equals stiffness times displacement.
Period Formula
How long for one full swing? It depends on Mass and Stiffness.
T = 2π * √(m/k)Heavier mass = Slower swing. Stiffer spring = Faster swing.

Quick Quiz!
If you increase the mass, what happens to the speed of the oscillation?
Equilibrium
The center point where the spring is relaxed. The net force here is zero!
Amplitude
The maximum distance the object moves from its center (equilibrium) position.
Frequency
How many full back-and-forth cycles happen every second. Measured in Hertz (Hz).
