### Spring and Mass OscillationThis diagram illustrates a mass (100 g) attached to a spring demonstrating simple harmonic motion. The sequence of images shows:1. **Left Image:** The spring in its relaxed (equilibrium) position with no net force applied.2. **Middle Image (Position B):** The mass is lifted to this maximum height, representing the point just after release as it begins its downward oscillation.3. **Right Image (Position C):** The mass is shown at its lowest point after traveling downward past the equilibrium position.**Label Descriptions:**- **Point A:** The equilibrium position where the mass travels the fastest.- **Point B:** The highest point in the oscillation, where the mass momentarily stops before reversing direction and starting its downward motion.- **Point C:** The lowest point in its path, where the spring is most compressed.**Question:**At which point will the mass have the largest gravitational potential energy?- ○ **A**- ○ **B** (Correct Answer)- ○ **C**- ○ All points will have the same amount of gravitational potential energy.**Explanation:** The mass will have the largest gravitational potential energy at Point B, the highest position in its oscillation path. Here, potential energy is maximized due to the height being greatest.

Questions 2-5 reference the picture of mass attached to a spring shown. The left most picture gives the spring in its relaxed (equilibrium) position. The mass is lifted to point "B" and let go such that it oscillates up and down as shown in the right most position. Positions B and C are its highest and lowest points while bouncing. Point A is where the mass is traveling the fastest. Neglect air drag. 100 g BA A 100 g At what point will the mass have the largest gravitational potential energy? O A O B O C O All points will have the same amount of gravitational potential energy.

A spider can tell when its web has captured, say, a fly because the fly's thrashing causes the web threads to oscillate. A spider can even determine the size of the fly by the frequency of the oscillations. Assume that a fly oscillates on the capture thread on which it is caught like a block on a spring. What is the ratio of oscillation frequency for a fly with mass m to a fly with mass 2.5m?

Grandfather clocks keep time by advancing the hands a set amount per oscillation of the pendulum. Therefore, the pendulum needs to have a very accurate period for the clock to keep time accurately. As a fine adjustment of the pendulum’s period, many grandfather clocks have an adjustment nut on a bolt at the bottom of the pendulum disk. Screwing this nut inward or outward changes the mass distribution of the pendulum by moving the pendulum disk closer to or farther from the axis of rotation at O. Let mp = 0.7 kg and r = 0.1 m Model the pendulum as a uniform disk of radius r and mass mp at the end of a rod of negligible mass and length L – r, and assume that the oscillations of θ are small. If the pendulum disk is initially at a distance L = 0.85 m from the pin at O, how much would the period of the pendulum change if the adjustment nut with a lead of 0.5 mm was rotated four complete rotations closer to the disk? In addition, how much time would the clock gain or lose in a 24 h…
A simple pendulum consists of a bob of mass of 0.85 kg attached to a string of length 1.5 m. The pendulum is raised to point Q, which is 0.08 m above its lowest position, and released so that it oscillates with a small amplitude θ between the points P and Q as shown below.
