Intro to oscillations

Realise that there are many physical systems that have some sort of periodic motion: pendula and masses on a spring are common examples.Use the pendulum as an example define the quantities used to describe oscillations.Understand why the acceleration of a pendulum is proportional to its displacement from a fixed point.Draw graphs of s,v and a against time for SHM.
