What happens to velocity at maximum displacement in SHM?
Velocity is zero.
What happens to acceleration at equilibrium in SHM?
Acceleration is zero.
What happens to velocity at equilibrium in SHM?
Velocity is at its maximum.
What is the effect of doubling the mass in a mass-spring system on the period?
The period is multiplied by .
What is the effect of increasing the length of a simple pendulum on the period?
The period increases.
What happens when displacement passes through equilibrium?
Velocity reaches its maximum, and acceleration momentarily becomes zero.
What is the effect of applying an external force at the natural frequency of a system?
Resonance occurs, leading to a dramatic increase in the amplitude of oscillation.
What is the effect of increasing the spring constant (k) on the period of oscillation?
The period of oscillation decreases.
What is the effect of increasing the mass (m) on the period of oscillation?
The period of oscillation increases.
What are the key differences between displacement and velocity in SHM?
Displacement: Position relative to equilibrium | Velocity: Rate of change of displacement, maximum at equilibrium.
How do velocity and acceleration differ in SHM?
Velocity: Maximum at equilibrium, zero at max displacement. | Acceleration: Maximum at max displacement, zero at equilibrium.
Compare the factors affecting the period of a mass-spring system and a simple pendulum.
Mass-Spring: Mass and spring constant. | Simple Pendulum: Length and acceleration due to gravity.
Compare displacement-time and velocity-time graphs in SHM.
Displacement-time: Sinusoidal curve, represents position over time. | Velocity-time: Sinusoidal curve, shifted by period relative to displacement.
Compare velocity-time and acceleration-time graphs in SHM.
Velocity-time: Sinusoidal curve, represents velocity over time. | Acceleration-time: Sinusoidal curve, shifted by period relative to velocity.
