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).


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.


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 d, and released.


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

Explanation / Answer

F= K*x it does not depend on mass.
