The image shows one complete cycle of a mass on a spring in simple harmonic motion.

Question illustration
A
The velocity has the maximum upward value because the acceleration upward is at a maximum.
B
The net force is at a maximum in the downward direction, so the velocity begins to decrease.
C
The velocity is zero because the net force is zero.
D
The net force is zero, so the acceleration is zero.

Trevor places a mass on a spring. When he releases it, the mass and spring move in simple harmonic motion.

A
He could use a longer spring.
B
He could use a smaller mass.
C
He could use a stiffer spring.
D
He could pull the mass down farther.

As a mass on a spring moves farther from the equilibrium position, how do the velocity, acceleration, and force change?

A
The velocity decreases, the acceleration decreases, and the net force decreases.
B
The velocity increases, the acceleration decreases, and the net force decreases.
C
The velocity increases, the acceleration increases, and the net force decreases.
D
The velocity decreases, the acceleration increases, and the net force increases.

Rana writes a summary about a mass on a spring in simple harmonic motion as it moves upward from the equilibrium position toward the maximum positive displacement.As the mass moves upward, the velocity is positive and decreasing while the acceleration is negative and decreasing.

A
The velocity should be negative, not positive.
B
The acceleration should be positive, not negative.
C
The velocity should be increasing, not decreasing.
D
The acceleration should be increasing, not decreasing.
