Question 1 Part A

If at a certain point in time the displacement is positive foran object moving under simple harmonic motion, what is the sign ofits acceleration?

	A.	Depends if the object is moving positively or negatively.
	B.	Can not be determined.
	C.	Positive.
	D.	Negative.

Part B

For an object in simple harmonic motion, what is the length oftime required to return to its original position and to betraveling in the original direction?

	A.	The period, T.
	B.	The frequency, f.
	C.	The frequency, T.
	D.	The period, f.

Part C

For an object moving under simple harmonic motion while attachedto a spring, when is the speed the greatest?

	A.	When there is maximum displacement from equilibrium .
	B.	When there is no displacement from equilibrium .
	C.	When the velocity is a minimum.
	D.	Only when the object on the spring is not hanging down due togravity.

Part D

A spring is hanging motionless from the ceiling of a room on theearth. You attach a mass to the end of the spring and afterreleasing the mass, you observe that the spring extends a distancebefore momentarily coming to a halt. What then must be the distancebelow just the spring's equilibrium position to the new equilibriumposition of the spring-mass system?

	A.
	B.
	C.
	D.

Part E

A block is attached to a spring and is hanging downwardmotionless from the ceiling of a room on the earth. Is the springin equilibrium?

	A.	No.
	B.	Unable to determine without more information.
	C.	Yes.
	D.	We need to know the mass of the block.

Part F

For an object moving under simple harmonic motion while attachedto a spring, when is the net force zero?

	A.	Only when the object on the spring is not hanging down due togravity.
	B.	When there is maximum displacement from equilibrium.
	C.	When the velocity is a minimum.
	D.	When there is no displacement from equilibrium.

Part G

What is the term for the object's maximum possible displacementwhen moving under simple harmonic motion?

	A.	There is no term for this situation.
	B.	Amplitude of displacement.
	C.	Amplitude of velocity.
	D.	Amplitude of acceleration.

Part H

A spring is hanging downward from the ceiling of a room on theearth, has nothing attached to the end, and is motionless. Is thespring in equilibrium?

	A.	Unable to determine without more information.
	B.	No.
	C.	Yes.
	D.	There must be a mass on the end of the spring.

Part I

For an object moving under simple harmonic motion while attachedto a spring, when is the speed zero?

	A.	Only when the object on the spring is not hanging down due togravity.
	B.	When there is no displacement from equilibrium.
	C.	When there is maximum displacement from equilibrium.
	D.	When the velocity is a maximum.

Part J

For an object moving under simple harmonic motion while attachedto a spring, when is the net force the greatest?

	A.	When there is no displacement from equilibrium.
	B.	When the velocity is a maximum.
	C.	Only when the object on the spring is not hanging down due togravity.
	D.	When there is maximum displacement from equilibrium.
