Questions 6-13 refer to the figure below. The graph represents the position as a function of time for a small
1.20 kg object attached to a light spring that is oscillating on a smooth horizontal surface.
n
0.4
Time (s)
0
0.2
6. What is the amplitude of the motion (in cm)?
7. What is the period of the motion (in s)?
8. What is the frequency of the motion (in Hz)?
9. What is the angular frequency of the motion (in rad/s)?
0.6
11. What is the maximum speed of the object (in m/s)?
10. What is the spring constant of the spring (in N/m)? (Be aware of units!)
0.8
12. What is the maximum acceleration of the object (in m/s²)?
13. If instead of attaching the 1.20 kg mass to the spring, we attach a mass of 2.4 kg. What is the new
period (in s) of the motion?
