2. If, X = x0 cos(ωT), gives the displacement of a body in simple harmonic motion, which equation gives it's velocity? (Where V0 is the maximum velocity)
- X = -V0 cos(ωT)
- X = -V0 sin(ωT)
- X = -T cos(ωV0)
- X = V0 sin(ωT)
3. For simple harmonic motion to occur, an entity must experience a restoring force...
- Away from the position of equilibrium and proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium
- Away from the position of equilibrium and inversely proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium
- Towards the position of equilibrium and inversely proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium
- Towards the position of equilibrium and proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium
4. Hooke's Law states that the net force (Fnet) which a spring exerts on an entity is related to it's displacement (x) where (k) is a constant by the equation...
- Fnet = -kx
- Fnet = k / x
- Fnet = kx
- Fnet = -k / x
5. This means that the acceleration (a) can be related to the displacement (x) by the equation...
- a = x
- a ∝ -x
- a ∝ x
- a = -x
