1.
Which condition defines SHM?
a ∝ −x
Constant acceleration
Force proportional to velocity
Constant speed
2.
At the equilibrium position of an object in SHM
speed is zero
acceleration is a maximum
displacement is a maximum
speed is a maximum
3.
A graph of acceleration against displacement for SHM is
a parabola
a sinusoid
a straight line through the origin with negative gradient
a horizontal line
4.
The amplitude of an SHM oscillation is doubled with the same ω. The period
is halved
is doubled
is quadrupled
is unchanged
5.
An oscillator has ω = 10 rad s−1 and amplitude 0.020 m. The maximum acceleration is
2.0 m s−2
0.20 m s−2
20 m s−2
200 m s−2
6.
On the v–t graph, the object is momentarily at rest when
v is a maximum
the gradient is zero and v is a maximum
v = 0
the area is zero
