Question

Five different experiments are carried out. In each experiment, a block is attached to a horizontal spring. The block is pulled back a certain distance and released. The block oscillates back and forth on a frictionless surface. Rank the amplitude of oscillation for each of the following situations. (Rank the smallest amplitude as 1). (Some may have tied rankings). Rank these below in the proper order.

A block of mass M is attached to a spring with a spring constant 2k, pulled back a distance (1/2)d, and released.

A block of mass M is attached to a spring with a spring constant k, pulled back a distance d, and released.

A block of mass (1/2)M is attached to a spring with a spring constant k, pulled back a distance d, and released.

A block of mass M is attached to a spring with a spring constant k, pulled back a distance 2d, and released.

A block of mass M is attached to a spring with a spring constant (1/2)k, pulled back a distance d, and released.

Explanation / Answer

Amplitude = block is pulled by distannce

1) A = 2d

2) A = d

3) A = d/2

4) A = d

5) A = d

3 < 2 = 4=5 < 1
