Questions and Answers

What is a key factor that affects the acceleration of harmonic motion when dealing with springs?

Temperature of the environment

Shape of the spring

Mass of the object (correct)

Length of the spring

How does the acceleration differ when using springs with different spring constants compared to identical spring constants?

Acceleration remains constant for both cases

Acceleration depends only on the mass

Acceleration varies based on the spring constant values (correct)

Acceleration is greater with identical spring constants

Which of the following scenarios can lead to changes in acceleration in harmonic motion for a mass and spring system?

Changing the spring constants without altering the mass

Neither A nor B would affect acceleration

Both A and B (correct)

Study Notes

Identical Spring Constants

Two masses are connected to each other via a spring.
Both masses are identical, and the spring constant is the same.
The system experiences simple harmonic motion.
The acceleration of the system depends on the displacement from equilibrium and the spring constant.

Different Spring Constants

Two masses are connected to each other via two different springs.
The masses are identical, but the spring constants are different.
The system experiences simple harmonic motion.
The acceleration experienced by each mass is dependent on the spring constant associated with that spring.
