Show hintHide hint
Think about the relationship between force and displacement.
Question 2.
What is the formula for angular frequency?
Show hintHide hint
How is angular frequency related to mass and spring constant?
3Question 3.

- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Check how the formula connects k and m.
Question 5.
Consider a mass of 1.5 kg connected to a spring with a constant of 20 N/m. Find the angular frequency and the conditions for SHM.
Show hintHide hint
Use the angular frequency formula.
Question 6.
