A particle oscillates with undamped simple harmonic motion. Which one of the following statements about the acceleration of the oscillating particle is true?
It is least when the speed is greatest.
It is always in the opposite direction to its velocity.
It is proportional to the frequency.
It decreases as the potential energy increases.
Which is true about the restoring force?
A force that restores motion.
A force that is inversely proportional to displacement.
A force that always pulls a mass back to equilibrium.
A force that pushes a mass towards maximum amplitude.
If the length of a pendulum increases, its period....
increases
decreases
stays the same
The restoring force on a pendulum is
increasing
gravity
electrical
friction
If a pendulum is moved to a planet and its period increases, the gravity on that planet is ___________ the gravity on Earth.
the same as
less than
greater than
can't tell; period doesn't depend on gravity
Student X attaches an object of mass M to the end of a string of length L so that a simple pendulum is constructed. Student Y attaches an object of mass M to a string of length 4L to construct a second pendulum.
