The oscillation of a spring is the motion that the spring makes when disturbed. Imagine holding the end of a spring and hanging a weight to the other end. If you do not disturb the weight, it will stay in a static position. However, when you pull down on the weight and let go, the spring "oscillates" up and down. The spring could also be compressed and released, creating the same effect. The up and down motion, which has a specific velocity and period relating to the spring constant k, is oscillation.

Mass and pendulum oscillation?
Mass oscillation time period = 2 pi sq rt. (m/k) Pendulum oscillation time period = 2 pi sq rt. (l/g)
What is an oscilator?
An oscillation is a term we could use to refer to a single cycle of a cyclic or repeating motion. Let's just take one example (so we don't run it into the ground) and see how it applies. And we'll use that familiar pendulum clock. The pendulum on a clock will be driven by a spring. We swing the pendulum up, release it, and gravity and the spring do the rest. The spring, as you have guessed, adds just enough energy to offset the friction loss in the system. When we lift the pendulum and release it, it is pulled down (accelerated) by gravity. It passes through a point where it is at the "bottom" of the swing (having achieved maximum velocity), and then heads up on the other side. It's decelerating here under the influence of gravity - that same gravity that accelerated it. I continues to slow, it stops, and then accelerates back down and across the "middle" or "bottom" again. Up it goes to the top of its arc on the other side, and it returns to its starting point. It has completed one cycle of its oscillation. It has performed one oscillation. Simple, and easy.
What is the wave height of wave of oscillation?
maximum and or minimum peak of any signal measured on an oscilloscope
Do alkali metals have metallic luster?
All Alkali metals show metallic lustre ,which can be explained by the oscillation of free electrons.
How do you correct the sentence this spring has been more dry than last spring?
This spring has been drier than last spring.
If the initial displacement from equilibrium amplitude is changed does the period of oscillation change?
Initial displacement has no effect on the period of oscillation. The period T = 2(pi)sqrt(mass/spring constant)
Please give two examples of 'oscillation'?
A clock pendulum swinging back and forth. A weight on a spring moving up and down.
Is walking a in-phase oscillation or out of phase oscillation?
out
When was Oscillation Isolator created?
Oscillation Isolator was created in 2009.
Is oscillation a wave?
NO,oscillation is not necessarily a wave because energy is not transported in oscillation.In oscillation there is no space periodicity.An oscillation is periodic in time only where as a wave is periodic in time and space both.
How can you use oscillation in a sentence?
Please put oscillation in a complete sentence.
What is a sentence using the word oscillation?
The object has an oscillation frequency of 23 hz.
What is a subsequent oscillation?
It is an oscillation that occurs constantly or in order with respect to the perod of oscillations
What is the difference between coupled pendulum and simple pendulum?
simple pendulum center of mass and center of oscillation are at the same distance.coupled pendulum is having two bobs attached with a spring.
What is light an oscillation of?
Light is an electromagnetic wave, that is, an oscillation of both the electric and the magnetic fields.
Is oscillation not a factor in sound generation of a synthesizer?
Oscillation IS a factor in sound generation of a synthesizer.
How does surface area affect damping of an oscillation?
The larger the surface area, the larger the damping of an oscillation
