Place a 50 g weight on spring #1, and release it. Eventually, the weight will come to rest at an equilibrium position, with the spring somewhat stretched compared to its original (unweighted) length. At this point, the upward force of the spring balances the force of gravity on the weight. With the weight in its equilibrium position, how does the amount the spring is stretched depend on the mass of the weight? The stretch does not depend on mass. The spring stretches more for a heavier weight. The spring stretches less for a heavier weight.

When is the elastic potential energy of the spring a maximum? When the spring is most stretched When the spring isn't stretched or compressed When the spring is most compressed Both when the spring is most compressed and when the spring is most stretched

Select Earth in the menu box so that there is now a force of gravity. Now the total energy of the mass/spring system is the sum of the kinetic energy, the elastic potential energy, and the gravitational potential energy. When is the kinetic energy a maximum?

How does the period of oscillation depend on the initial angle of the pendulum when released? (Be sure to measure the period for initial angles much greater than 30?.) The period is longer when the initial angle is greater. The period is shorter when the initial angle is greater. The period is independent of the initial angle.

How does the period of the pendulum depend on mass? A heavier pendulum has a shorter period. The period is independent of the pendulum's mass. A heavier pendulum has a longer period.
