Answer
The period represents the time it takes for the object to make one complete oscillation.
The amplitude represents the farthest distance that the object is able to go from the equilibrium position.
Work Step by Step
The period represents the time it takes for the object to make one complete oscillation. One complete oscillation involves the object starting from the equilibrium position, moving to the farthest point, going all the way to the other farthest point and then returning to the equilibrium position.
The amplitude represents the farthest distance that the object is able to go from the equilibrium position.
