A student attaches a block to a horizontal spring so that the block-spring system will oscillate if the block-spring system is released from rest at a horizontal position that is not the system’s equilibrium position. The oscillatory motion of the system is described by the graph of the block’s acceleration as a function of time. An identical experiment is conducted except that a new spring is used that has a spring constant that is twice the value of that of the original spring. Which two of the following predictions are correct about the system when it undergoes simple harmonic motion? select two answers

Since the spring constant was increased by 2 the following are true;

  • The amplitude of oscillation will be increased by a factor of 2.
  • The maximum spring potential energy of the system will be increased by a factor of 4.

What is Simple harmonic motion?

The term simple harmonic motion refers to a regular repeating motion whose acceleration is directed towards the center of the motion.

From the description in the question, we can see that the new spring used has a spring constant that is twice that of the first spring. The following therefore are true;

  • The amplitude of oscillation will be increased by a factor of 2.
  • The maximum spring potential energy of the system will be increased by a factor of 4.
