A mass-spring system exhibits simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 10 cm and a frequency of 5 Hz. If the mass is displaced to 8 cm, what is its velocity when passing through the equilibrium position?
💡 Hint: Use the formula that relates velocity, amplitude, and displacement.
Two masses attached to springs oscillate. Mass A has a period of 2 seconds, while mass B oscillates at 1 second. Will their oscillation be periodic together? Justify.
💡 Hint: Recall the frequency relationship between periodic motions.
