3. Hookes Law A repeated motion such as a child on a swing is called periodic motion.
Other examples would be a wrecking ball or a pendulum of a clock.
In each case periodic motion is back and forth over the same path.
4. Hookes Law One type of periodic motion is the motion of a mass attached to a spring. The direction of the force acting on the mass (Felastic) is always opposite the direction of the masss displacement from equilibrium (x = 0).
