In the world of mechanics, there are four basic types of motion. These four are rotary, oscillating, linear and reciprocating. Each one moves in a slightly different way and each type of achieved using different mechanical means that help us understand linear motion and motion control.৪ জুন, ২০১৩

Apparent motion is the appearance of real motion from a sequence of still images. Apparent motion occurs whenever stimuli separated by time and location are actually perceived as a single stimulus moving from one location to another. Beta motion is also called optimal motion and is indistighishable from real motion.

Violent motion, by contrast, is motion contrary to the nature of the object and requires an external force in order to occur. Most motions are of this type. A stone thrown into the air moves in a violent motion, against its nature and therefore requires force in order to cause it to move.

A motion repeating itself is referred to as periodic or oscillatory motion. An object in such motion oscillates about an equilibrium position due to a restoring force or torque. This motion is important to study many phenomena including electromagnetic waves, alternating current circuits, and molecules.১ মে, ২০১৯

The main difference between Vibration and Oscillation is that the Vibration is a mechanical phenomenon whereby oscillations occur about an equilibrium point; precisely used to describe mechanical oscillation and Oscillation is a repetitive variation of some measure about a central value.১৩ সেপ্টেম্বর, ২০১৯

Examples of these types of vibration include a washing machine shaking due to an imbalance, transportation vibration caused by an engine or uneven road, or the vibration of a building during an earthquake.

The period formula, T = 2π√m/k, gives the exact relation between the oscillation time T and the system parameter ratio m/k.

For something to oscillate, energy needs to move back and forth between two forms. For example, in a pendulum, energy moves between potential energy and kinetic energy. This movement of energy between the two forms is what causes the oscillation.

Some common synonyms of oscillate are fluctuate, sway, swing, undulate, vibrate, and waver.

verbs the difference between oscillate and vacillate is that oscillate is to swing back and forth, especially if with a regular rhythm, while vacillate is to sway unsteadily from one side to the other.” Oscillate (verb)To vacillate between conflicting opinions, etc.

Antonyms: abide, adhere, hold fast, persist, stand fast, stay, stick. Synonyms: fluctuate, hesitate, swerve, undulate, vacillate, vary, veer, waver.

Opposite of to vary or fluctuate between two states. decide. determine. resolve. settle.

Oscillate in a Sentence ?

1. Though you cannot see it, sound waves constantly oscillate as they travel through the air.
2. The pendulum oscillated side to side, making it difficult for the man to focus on anything but the clock.
3. To aide with his hypnosis, the hypnotists oscillated a pocket watch in front of his patient.

Oscillate is to swing back and forth, either literally or in terms of your opinion, action or mood. A fan that swings around and around is an example of a fan that oscillates. When you go from delighted about an idea to angry about the idea and back again, this is an example of a time when you oscillate. verb.
