Read each question carefully and provide your answers in the space provided. Show all your work for calculations.
1. Define periodic motion and provide two examples of phenomena that exhibit periodic motion.
2. Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of simple harmonic motion (SHM)?
Restoring force is proportional to displacement.
Acceleration is constant.
The motion is oscillatory.
Period is independent of amplitude for small oscillations.
3. A simple pendulum has a length of 0.75 m. Calculate its period of oscillation. (Assume g = 9.8 m/s²)
4. The maximum displacement of a wave from its equilibrium position is called the . The number of complete oscillations per unit time is known as the .
Match each wave type with its description.
1. Transverse Wave
a. Oscillations parallel to wave propagation
2. Longitudinal Wave
b. Oscillations perpendicular to wave propagation
