SHM

If an object is in oscillatory motion, what must be true if it's in simple harmonic motion? 

• Its motion is along the path of a circle
• acceleration is proportional to the displacement
• Its potential energy is equal to the kinetic energy
• It's attached to a spring

According to Hooke's law, the force exerted by a spring on an object is proportional to...

• the displacement of the spring
• the mass of the spring
• the length of the spring
• the volume of the spring

Which of the following statement is true about SHM?

• The maximum acceleration occurs when the velocity is maximum
• The maximum acceleration occurs when its velocity is zero
• If the velocity is zero so is the displacement
• The instantaneous velocity of the mass is never zero

For a system in simple harmonic motion, which of the following is the time required to complete a cycle of motion?

• amplitude
• period
• frequency
• revolution

Which position shows the spring with maximum elastic potential energy?

• A
• B
• C
• D

In simple harmonic motion, the displacement is maximum when the: 

• acceleration is zero 
• velocity is maximum 
• velocity is zero 
• kinetic energy is maximum 

A mass attached to a spring vibrates back and forth. At the equilibrium position, the

• acceleration reaches a maximum.
• velocity reaches a maximum.
• net force reaches a maximum.
• velocity reaches zero.

• A

• B

• O

• A and B

• Same speed at all points
