Show hintHide hint
Focus on the relationship between force and displacement.
Question 2.
What is amplitude in SHM?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how far the object moves away from center.
3Question 3.
What does the term Amplitude represent in SHM?
- The frequency of oscillation
- The maximum displacement
- The phase of motion
Show hintHide hint
Think about how far the oscillating body can move from the center.
4Question 4.
True or False: The phase constant affects the initial position of oscillation.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider how timing impacts the start of the oscillation.
Question 5.
A harmonic oscillator has an amplitude of 3 units and an angular frequency of 2 rad/s. Write the equation of the SHM.
Show hintHide hint
Use the general form and substitute the known values.
Question 6.
How do changes in mass (decreasing) affect the frequency of an SHM system if spring constant remains constant?
Show hintHide hint
Consider the reciprocal relationship between mass and frequency in SHM.
