Simple Harmonic Motion Assignment
Test With Complete Solutions
At which point is the velocity the greatest?
At which points is the velocity 0 m/s?
At which point is the acceleration 0 m/s2?
At which points is the acceleration the greatest? CORRECT ANSWERS 1. B
2. A and C
3. B
4. A and C
At which point(s) is the net force the greatest?
At which point(s) is the net force zero? CORRECT ANSWERS 1. A, C, and E
2. B and D
A student does an experiment with a pendulum. In the first trial, she displaces the
pendulum 5 cm. In the second trial, she displaces the same pendulum a distance of 10
cm.
In what ways would the graphs that represent these simple harmonic motion graphs be
different? In what ways would they be the same? CORRECT ANSWERS Sample
Response: The displacement of the pendulum is directly proportional to the amplitude of
the sine wave produced. The period would not change because the length of the
pendulum rod remains the same.
Which graph would be created by a pendulum with the greatest amplitude?
