The diagram shows a velocity-time graph for a mass moving up and down on the end of a spring. Which point represents the velocity of the mass when at the lowest point of its motion?

An object oscillating in simple harmonic motion has a time period T. The first graph shows how its displacement varies with time. Which of the subsequent graphs, A to D, show how the kinetic energy, Ek, of the object varies with time?

Which of the following graphs correctly represents the relationship between the kinetic energy Ek and the displacement (d) from point of release of a swinging pendulum bob?

Which graph, A to D, shows the variation of the kinetic energy, E_k, with displacement x for a particle performing simple harmonic motion?

Which of the following graphs correctly represents the total mechanical energy of this spring-mass system? Assume no damping.

A body executes simple harmonic motion. Which one of the graphs, A to D, best shows the relationship between the kinetic energy, E_k, of the body and its distance from the centre of oscillation?
