Spring

The period of oscillation of a spring depends the strength or stiffness of the spring

• true

• false

Relative to a softer spring, a stiffer spring has

• a shorter period

• the same period

• a longer period

If you put a heavier mass on a spring, it will have

• a shorter period

• the same period

• a longer period

If you have two springs of the same stiffness, with the same mass attached, the one you stretch farther will have

• a shorter period

• the same period

• a longer period

The first day of spring is also known as the

• vernal equinox

• summer solstice

• autumn equinox

• winter solstice

The diagram below shows a 0.1-kilogram apple attached to a branch of a tree 2 meters above a spring on the ground below. The apple falls and hits the spring, compressing it 0.1 meter from its rest position. If all of the gravitational potential energy of the apple on the tree is transferred to the spring when it is compressed, what is the spring constant of this spring?

• 10 N/m

• 40 N/m

• 100 N/m

• 400 N/m
