Simple harmonic motion practice

Front

When is the pendulum at maximum velocity?

Back

At its lowest point.

Front

What happens to the period of a pendulum if its frequency is doubled?

Back

The period would be cut in half.

Front

What happens to the period of a pendulum if it is moved from the Earth to the Moon?

Back

The period would increase.

Front

The number of cycles or oscillations made in one second is defined as?

Back

Frequency.

Front

What is the equation for frequency?

Back

f = 1/T.

Front

What is the definition of amplitude in simple harmonic motion?

Back

The maximum displacement from the equilibrium position.

Front

What is the relationship between period (T) and frequency (f)?

Back

T = 1/f.

Front

What is the formula for the period of a simple pendulum?

Back

T = 2π√(L/g), where L is the length and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Front

What is the effect of increasing the length of a pendulum on its period?

Back

The period increases.

Front

What is the restoring force in simple harmonic motion?

Back

The force that brings the system back to equilibrium, proportional to the displacement.
