In terms of simple harmonic motion, this is the time needed for one full cycle of motion to occur.

Back and forth motion.

What is the amplitude in terms of a spring or pendulum?

If a spring is stretched or compressed, it is said to have ____________________________.

What are pendulums useful to calculate?

You can calculate a this by dividing the force needed to stretch or compress a spring by the distance it was stretched of compressed.

The net forces that work to bring a pendulum or spring back to equilibrium is also called the _____________________.

A spring has a spring constant of 500 N/m. A force of 100 N is applied to it. How much does the spring stretch?

A rubber band has a spring constant of 15 N/m. When pulled with a force of 10 N, how far does it stretch?

A spring is compressed by 0.5 meters and has a spring constant of 350 N/m. What is the force applied to compress the spring?

A trampoline stretches downward by 0.35 meters when a force is applied. If the spring constant is 450 N/m, what force caused this displacement?

A slingshot uses a spring with a spring constant of 650 N/m. Before firing, the spring is compressed by 0.1 meters. How much potential energy is stored in the spring?

A wind-up toy has a spring inside that compresses 0.03 meters when wound up. The spring has a spring constant of 400 N/m. What is the potential energy of the compressed spring?

Based on the information in the picture, what is the potential energy of the stretched spring?

pe = 1/2(k)(x²)

You will first need to calculate spring constant (k).
k = f/x
