Question

How can you measure the spring constant of a spring?

You can measure spring constant K= Force applied/change in length of the spring.

● How can you use a known spring to find an unknown mass?

● How does the amount of mass affect the frequency and the period?

● How does the amplitude affect the frequency and the period?

● How does the spring constant affect the frequency and the period? ‘

● How does gravity affect the motion of a mass on a spring?

● What do the graphs of kinetic energy and potential energy look like as the mass moves? What do the graphs of position, velocity, and acceleration look like?

What is damping and how does it affect this system?

What’s the difference if the mass on a spring is horizontal instead of vertical?

What is resonance and when does it occur?
