In simple harmonic motion, what is the term for the maximum displacement from the equilibrium position?

• Cycle

• Period

• Amplitude

• Frequency

How is a cycle defined in the context of simple harmonic motion?

• One complete back and forth motion

• The time taken to reach maximum displacement

• The number of oscillations per second

• The distance from crest to trough

What is the relationship between period and frequency in simple harmonic motion?

• They are directly proportional

• They are inversely proportional

• They are unrelated

• They are equal

When graphing simple harmonic motion, what is typically placed on the x-axis?

• Time

• Frequency

• Amplitude

• Displacement

What do the terms 'crest' and 'trough' refer to on a graph of simple harmonic motion?

• The points of maximum and minimum displacement

• The time taken for one oscillation

• The distance between two cycles

• The start and end of a cycle

How is amplitude measured on a graph of simple harmonic motion?

• From equilibrium to crest or trough

• From start to end of the graph

• From one cycle to the next

• From crest to trough

What is the period of a motion if it takes two seconds to complete one cycle?

• 0.5 seconds

• 1 second

• 2 seconds

• 4 seconds

If the period of a motion is 2 seconds, what is the frequency?

• 2 Hz

• 4 Hz

• 0.5 Hz

• 1 Hz

What is the significance of the equilibrium position in simple harmonic motion?

• It is the point where displacement is zero

• It is the point of maximum frequency

• It is the starting point of a cycle

• It is the point of maximum displacement
