What is the magnitude of the spring force acting on the mass when it is at the equilibrium position?

• Maximum

• Zero

• Half of the maximum

• Dependent on the mass

• No

What type of motion is exhibited by a horizontal mass-spring system on a frictionless surface?

• Uniform circular motion

• Projectile motion

• Simple Harmonic Motion

• Random motion

What is the characteristic direction of a restoring force in Simple Harmonic Motion?

• Always away from the equilibrium position

• Always towards the equilibrium position

• Perpendicular to the direction of motion

• In the same direction as the displacement

How does the magnitude of the spring force relate to the displacement from the equilibrium position in a mass-spring system?

• It is inversely proportional to the displacement

• It is proportional to the square of the displacement

• It is proportional to the displacement

• It is constant, regardless of displacement
