Now, if you tape two together, at their wide ends, and let them roll along two meter sticks (“tracks”), they will stay stably on the tracks. Why? When they roll off center, they self-correct: say they roll to the left, then the wider ...

The time required for a particle in simple harmonic motion to travel through one complete cycle (the period) is independent of the amplitude of the motion, even though at larger amplitudes the particle travels further. This is possible because, at larger amplitudes, the maximum speed of the particle ...

Hunting oscillation

Hunting oscillation is a self-oscillation, usually unwanted, about an equilibrium. The expression came into use in the 19th century and describes how a system ""hunts"" for equilibrium. The expression is used to describe phenomena in such diverse fields as electronics, aviation, biology, and railway engineering.
