At a position x1, the object has a kinetic energy of 0.7 J and a potential energy 0.3 J. The amplitude of oscillation, A, is: (a) 0.12 m (b)0.22 m (c) 0.31 m (d)0.42 m 2) A block of mass m is attached to a spring with force constant, k and oscillate at a frequency f. If the mass is changed to m' = m/2, and the spring force is changed to k' = 2k, then the new frequency f' of the oscillation would be, (a) f' = 2f (b)f' = f (c) f' = f/2 (d)f' = 4f %3Darrow_forwardEach of five pendulums has a bob of mass m suspended from a string of length L.
