Simple Harmonic Motion MCQ Practice_6

A block is attached to a ceiling by a spring of force constant k. When pulled down and released, the block undergoes simple harmonic motion. The motion of the block is shown in the time plot. Which of the choices most closely describes the amplitude A and frequency f of the motion of the block? To double the total energy of a mass-spring system oscillating in simple harmonic motion, the amplitude must increase by a factor of An object on the end of a spring is oscillating in simple harmonic motion. If the amplitude of oscillation is doubled, how does this affect the oscillation period T and the object’s maximum speed vmax? T and vmax both double. T remains the same and vmax doubles. T and vmax both remain the same. T doubles and and vmax remains the same. T remains the same and vmax increases by a factor of √2. The mass and radius of a planet are double that of the Earth. If the time period of a simple pendulum on the Earth is T, find the time period on the planet.
