Cards Term amplitude Definition the maximun distance from the average in harmonic motion; amplitude is often a distance or an angle. Term cycle Definition a unit of motion that repeats over and over Term frequency Definition in harmonics, the number of cycles an oscillator makes per second Term harmonic motion Definition motion that repeats itself Term hertz Definition the unit of one cycle per second used to measure frequency; the abbreviation (Hz) Term oscillator Definition a system that shows harmonic motion Term period Definition the time for one cycle Term periodic motion Definition cycles of motion that repeat over and over again, the same as harmonic motion Term phase Definition refers to where an oscillator is in its cycle Term system Definition a collection of matter and processes that occur in a certain space and can be studied; systems can be opened and closed
