Your grandfather clock’s pendulum has a length of . If the clock loses half a minute per day, how should you adjust the length of the pendulum?
A spring has a mass attached to one, which oscillates with a period of
. What is the frequency?
A spring has a spring constant of . If a force of
is used to stretch out the spring, what is the total displacement of the spring?
A mass is placed at the end of a spring. It has a starting velocity of and is allowed to oscillate freely. If the mass has a starting velocity of
, what would the period be?
A spring is attached to a mass, oscillating freely in simple harmonic motion. What change can be made to increase the period of the oscillation?
A man swings a bucket back and forth at the end of a rope, creating a pendulum. What factor could be used to increase the period of the pendulum?
What is the period of a simple pendulum long when it is in a freely falling elevator?
If a particle undergoes Simple Harmonic motion with an amplitude of . What is the total distance it travels in one period?
How long must a simple pendulum be if it is to make exactly one swing per second? (That is one complete oscillation would take 2 seconds.)
A pendulum has a period of on Earth. What is its period on Mars, where the acceleration due to gravity is about
that on Earth?
