  "term": "Simple harmonic motion",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "A type of periodic motion where the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement from an equilibrium position and acts in the opposite direction. This motion is characterized by a sinusoidal oscillation, such as that of a mass on a spring or a simple pendulum at small angles. Its period is independent of the amplitude.",
