Oscillations in AP Physics C: Mechanics
If a spring obeys Hooke's law and has a spring constant , what effect would halving and doubling the amplitude of oscillation have on the period of simple harmonic motion?
Which quantity must be zero for an object at the highest point during vertical oscillation on an ideal spring?
Which one of the following quantities is not a vector quantity in the context of mechanics?
What would be a change in a pendulum's period if you were to double its length but keep everything else constant?
A pendulum with length L is released from an angle with respect to the vertical; if is doubled, but all other conditions remain the same, what happens to the maximum speed of the pendulum at the lowest point in its swing?
Which of these describes the motion of an ideal pendulum at its lowest point?
A pendulum bob swinging through its lowest point exhibits both translational and rotational motion; if it has linear speed , mass , radius from pivot point to center of mass, and moment of inertia about its center of mass, what is its total kinetic energy?

For an object oscillating on a frictionless horizontal surface attached to an ideal spring with force constant , which pair correctly relates linear analogs to their rotational counterparts?
What force is responsible for the periodic motion of a mass on a spring?
When comparing a simple pendulum’s period at Earth’s surface to its period on a Moon base where gravity is weaker, assuming length is unchanged, how does this setting alter its periodic time?
