1.
Resonance occurs when
The driving frequency equals the natural frequency
The driving force is largest
The amplitude is zero
The system is heavily damped
2.
A system is driven far above its natural frequency. Its amplitude is
Maximum
Infinite
Equal to the driver's
Small
3.
The natural frequency of a mass-spring system is 4.0 Hz. If driven at 6.0 Hz, it oscillates at
4.0 Hz
10 Hz
6.0 Hz
2.0 Hz
4.
Which is NOT an example of resonance?

Tuning a radio
A glass shattering from sound
5.
Resonance becomes sharper (narrower, taller peak) when
Damping is decreased
Damping is increased
The mass is zero
The driving force is zero
6.
