• an anti-node.

• the amplitude.

• the not moving bit.

Natural frequency is best described as

• the frequency at which an object naturally vibrates at when it is disturbed

• a vibration that can be heard in the wild

• the radio frequency that astronauts naturally use when travelling into space

• the material used to make a swing

In a resonance experiment, what happens when the frequency of the applied force matches the natural frequency of the system?

• The amplitude of oscillation increases significantly

• The system stops oscillating

• The frequency of oscillation decreases

• The system changes its natural frequency

What is the role of damping in a resonant system?

• To increase the amplitude of oscillations

• To decrease the amplitude of oscillations

• To change the natural frequency

• To increase the frequency of oscillations

How does resonance affect the design of bridges?

• It requires engineers to ensure that the natural frequency of the bridge does not match the frequency of external forces like wind or traffic

• It allows bridges to be built with less material

• It makes bridges more flexible

• It has no effect on bridge design
