Abstract
In this note we study the motion of a particle confined to a moving surface, in other words, the geodesic motion where the surface is allowed to vary. We show that in the case of a rapidly vibrating surface, the differential geometry of a certain family of normal curves plays a role. Certain curvature terms appear in the averaged equations of motion.
