The diagram shows a simple pendulum released from a small angle. Take g = 9.8 m/s². What is the period of this pendulum?

The diagram shows a block attached to a spring with spring constant 200 N/m. What is the period of the oscillation?

Use the pendulum diagram. The swing angle is small, and g = 9.8 m/s². What period should the pendulum have?

A spring setup has spring constant 50 N/m. Read the mass from the diagram. What is the period of the block's oscillation?

The diagram shows a small-angle pendulum in a lab. Take g = 9.8 m/s². What is its period?

A class changes the hanging mass on the same spring and records the period each time. What relationship do the data show?

A class tests pendulums of different lengths but keeps the bob mass and release angle the same. What do the measurements show?

A class changes only the bob mass on pendulums with the same length and small release angle. What conclusion is best supported?

A small-angle pendulum has length 0.60 m. Take g = 9.8 m/s². What is its angular frequency?
A mass on a spring is replaced by another mass four times as large, with the same spring constant. How do the period and frequency change?
A spring in an oscillator is replaced by a spring with four times the spring constant, while the mass stays the same. What happens?
A small-angle pendulum's length is cut in half, with g unchanged. What happens to its period?
A pendulum is moved from Earth, where g = 9.8 m/s², to the Moon, where g = 1.6 m/s², without changing its length. How does its period change?
A pendulum is released from 3° and then from 6°, both small angles, with the same length. What happens to the period?
