What is the effect of increasing the length of a pendulum on its period?
The period increases;
What is the effect of increasing the mass on a spring on its period?
The period increases;
What is the effect of increasing the spring constant (k) on the period of a mass-spring system?
The period decreases;
What happens to the velocity of an object in SHM as it passes through the equilibrium point?
Velocity is at its maximum.
What happens to the acceleration of an object in SHM at its maximum displacement?
Acceleration is at its maximum.
What is Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM)?
Motion where an object is pulled back to equilibrium by a force proportional to its displacement.
Define Amplitude.
The maximum displacement from the equilibrium point.
Define Period (T).
Time for one full cycle of motion (in seconds).
Define Frequency (f).
Number of cycles per second (in Hertz, Hz).
What is a restoring force?
A force that pulls an object back to its equilibrium position.
