Question 1
1.
A mass on a spring oscillates 8 times in 1 second. What is the frequency?
8 Hz
0.125 Hz
0.133 Hz
4 Hz
Question 2
2.
A mass on a spring has a time period of 0.2 seconds. What is the frequency?
0.2 Hz
12
5 Hz
0.003 Hz
Question 3
3.
Apart from the mass on a spring, what other example can you state of a simple harmonic motion?
Question 4
4.
A mass on a spring performs 10 oscillations in 3.68 seconds. What is the time period and frequency?
T = 0.368 s , f = 0.27 Hz
T = 3.68 s, f = 0.27 Hz
T = 3.68 s, f = 2.7 Hz
T = 0.368 s, f = 2.7 Hz
