Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A pendulum with a length of 1 meter takes 2 seconds to complete one full swing. Calculate its frequency and discuss how this relates to its length.
💡 Hint: Consider the relationship defined by the formula for period.
If you had a mass attached to a spring that oscillated with an amplitude of 5 cm, discuss what would happen if the amplitude was doubled while keeping frequency constant.
💡 Hint: Think about how amplitude influences motion but not the rate.
