1.

When a block is oscillating, what is the position at which the velocity is maximised?

a)

Edges

b)

Equilibrium

c)

Half the total distance travelled

d)

At the beginning

2.

Why do we make the approximation of small angles in a pendulum?

a)

Because the sine is not proportional to displacement.

b)

Because big angles doesn't generate motion.

c)

Because small angles are shorter.

d)

Because we can't observe big angles.

3.

In Hooke's Law, what does constant k tell you?

a)

How stiff or loose a spring is

b)

How much force you require to bring back the spring to equilibrium

c)

How big or small a spring is

d)

How much will a spring stretch

4.

What is an example of a restoring force?

a)

Hooke's law

b)

Normal force

c)

Friction

d)

Tension

5.

In an oscillating block-spring system, where's the position at which the acceleration is zero?

a)

Edges

b)

Equilibrium

c)

There's no such position

d)

Depends on the arrangement of springs

6.

In an oscillating block-spring system, where's the position at which the acceleration is maximum?

a)

Edges

b)

Equilibrium

c)

There's no such position

d)

Depends on the arrangement of springs

7.

What is oscillatory motion?

a)

Repeated back and forth movement over the same path about an equilibrium position

b)

Repeated back and forth movement over the same path about any position

c)

Back and forth movement over the same path about an equilibrium position

d)

Repeated front movement over the same path about an equilibrium position

e)

Repeated back movement over the same path about an equilibrium position

8.

What is restoring force?

a)

Force acting opposite to displacement to bring the system back to equilibrium, which is its rest position. The force magnitude depends only on displacement.

b)

Force acting perpendicular to displacement to bring the system back to equilibrium, which is its rest position. The force magnitude depends only on displacement.

c)

Force acting opposite to displacement to bring the system back to equilibrium, which is the edge. The force magnitude depends only on displacement.

d)

Force acting opposite to displacement to bring the system back to equilibrium, which is its rest position. The force magnitude depends only on the constant.

9.

What does SHM stand for?

a)

Simple Harmonic Motion

b)

Simple Hinge Mechanism

c)

Sample Harmonic Mechanism

d)

Sample Hinge Mechanism

10.

What is the amplitude of a wave?

a)

Maximum displacement of points on a wave

b)

Distance between two successive like points on a wave

c)

Distance between two points on a wave

d)

Maximum distance between two points on a wave

11.

What is the wavelength of a wave?

a)

Maximum displacement of points on a wave

b)

Distance between two successive like points on a wave

c)

Distance between two points on a wave

d)

Maximum distance between two points on a wave

12.

What is frequency?

a)

Time for an oscillation

b)

Oscillations per unit of time

c)

Number of oscillations

d)

Oscillations per experiment

13.

What is period?

a)

Time for an oscillation

b)

Oscillations per unit of time

c)

Number of oscillations

d)

Oscillations per experiment

14.

What happens to the period of an oscillator if you increase the displacement of it?

a)

Stays the same

b)

Increases

c)

Decreases

d)

You can't know until you try it

Based on the number of champions league won, select the best team.

a)

Real Madrid

b)

Barcelona

c)

Manchester City

d)

Chelsea
