5 Questions
Which of the following best describes the equilibrium position in periodic motion?
The position where the object is at rest and exerts no force on the spring.
Which of the following statements about periodic motion is correct?
Periodic motion occurs when an object vibrates back and forth over the same path.
What is the relationship between the magnitude of the restoring force and the displacement of a spring from the equilibrium position?
The magnitude of the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement.
What happens to a spring when it is stretched or compressed from its equilibrium position?
The spring exerts a force that opposes the displacement and tries to restore the spring to its equilibrium position.
What is the role of an external force in stretching a spring?
An external force is required to stretch a spring and increase its displacement from the equilibrium position.
