Think about the energy transfer during oscillations.
Question 5.
A mass-spring system exhibits simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 10 cm and a frequency of 5 Hz. If the mass is displaced to 8 cm, what is its velocity when passing through the equilibrium position?
Show hintHide hint
Use the formula that relates velocity, amplitude, and displacement.
Question 6.
Two masses attached to springs oscillate. Mass A has a period of 2 seconds, while mass B oscillates at 1 second. Will their oscillation be periodic together? Justify.
