Can you change vibration speed? #VeritasiumContest

The video tutorial explores how different initial configurations of a system can lead to varying vibration frequencies. It explains the equation of motion and how each block in the system can vibrate at two distinct frequencies: low and high. By setting the initial conditions correctly, the system can be made to vibrate only at the low frequency, demonstrating the significant impact of initial conditions on the system's behavior.

What happens when the system is released from rest in a specific configuration?

• It remains stationary.

• It vibrates at different frequencies.

• It moves in a straight line.

• It explodes.

What does the equation of motion describe in this context?

• The speed of the blocks.

• The displacement of the blocks.

• The color of the blocks.

• The weight of the blocks.

How many frequencies does each block vibrate at according to the equation of motion?

• Four frequencies.

• Two frequencies.

• One frequency.

• Three frequencies.

What happens when the initial conditions are set correctly?

• The system vibrates at a high frequency only.

• The system vibrates at random frequencies.

• The system stops vibrating.

• The system vibrates at a low frequency only.

How can the shape of initial conditions affect the system?

• It alters the weight of the system.

• It affects the vibration of the system.

• It changes the color of the system.

• It modifies the size of the system.
