MOTION: Simple harmonic motion (SHM)

For vibrational motion, the maximum displacement from the equilibrium point is called the:

Amplitude.

Frequency.

Period.

Wavelength.

Doubling only the spring constant of a vibrating mass-and-spring system produces what effect on the system's mechanical energy?

Produces no change.

Increases the energy by a factor of two.

Increases the energy by a factor of three.

A mass on a spring undergoes SHM. When the mass is at maximum displacement from equilibrium, its instantaneous acceleration
