5. Describe the motion of a simple pendulum as it undergoes simple harmonic motion. What factors affect its period?
6. Explain the relationship between frequency and period in simple harmonic motion. Provide the mathematical formula.
7. The total mechanical energy of a system undergoing simple harmonic motion remains constant if there is no damping.
True
False
8. A mass attached to a spring oscillating vertically is an example of simple harmonic motion.
True
False
9. A mass of 0.5 kg is attached to a spring with a spring constant of 20 N/m. The mass is pulled 0.1 meters from its equilibrium position and released. Calculate the period and frequency of the oscillation.
