1. A spring-mass system undergoes simple harmonic motion. Which of the following statements are True/False? The kinetic energy is maximum at the point of zero displacement. True The potential energy is maximum at the point of maximum displacement. True The force exerted by the spring is zero at the point of maximum displacement. False The acceleration is greatest at the point of zero displacement. False 2. If the amplitude of the oscillations is doubled, then The total energy of the system increases by a factor of 4. The maximum restoring force stays the same. The frequency of the oscillations increases by a factor of 2. The maximum speed stays the same. Note: you MUST answer all questions before submitting.
