Master the Fundamentals of Periodic Motion

The position where the object is moving with the maximum velocity.

The position where the object is at rest and exerts no force on the spring. (correct)

The position where the object is at its maximum displacement from the equilibrium position.

The position where the object is accelerating towards the equilibrium position.

Periodic motion occurs when an object accelerates in a straight line.

Periodic motion occurs when an object vibrates back and forth over the same path. (correct)

Periodic motion occurs when an object moves in a straight line at a constant speed.

Periodic motion occurs when an object moves in a circular path at a constant speed.

The magnitude of the restoring force is constant regardless of the displacement.

The magnitude of the restoring force is unrelated to the displacement.

The magnitude of the restoring force is inversely proportional to the displacement.

The magnitude of the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement. (correct)
