Simple Harmonic Oscillators (SHO)

Position at which the body would come to rest if it were to lose all of its energy refers to

• equilibrium position

• maximum displacement / amplitude

• periodic position

• good position

The number of cycles or oscillation made in one second is defined as

• time taken

• period

• frequency

• amplitude

What is the only thing that increases the period of a pendulum?

• increase the length of the pendulum

• decrease the length of the pendulum

• increase the weight of the pendulum bulb

From the graph ,the spring constant is.

• 4.5 m

• 15 N

• 20 N/m

• 200 N/m

If the length of a simple pendulum is doubled, its period will: 

• halve 
• increase by a factor of sqrt(2) 
• decrease by a factor of sqrt(2)
• double 

A pendulum is 0.75 meters long and has a period of 4.17 seconds. The Pendulum is on an unknown planet.  What is the gravity of the Unknown Planet?

• 9.8
• 3.4
• 1.7
• Greater than 9.8
