Harmonic vs. Sinusoidal Motion (PG)
I thought I knew a lot about engineering, but I missed this!
Engineering Review
Can you distinguish
Harmonic from
Sinusoidal Motion?
This is a quick physics refresher for all my engineer friends.
This information should be passed on to non-engineers who may wonder
about these important issues.
For Engineers:
For non-Engineers:
This is Sinusoidal Motion

This is Harmonic Motion

This is a classic
combination of
Sinusoidal & Harmonic Motion
