| Simple Harmonic Motion and Elasticity |

These swimmers are having a great time bouncing on a floating trampoline. The elastic behavior of the trampoline is one example of an important type of vibratory motion known as simple harmonic motion. Simple harmonic motion is the main focus of this chapter. (Richard Cummins/Corbis Images)
