A 0.5 kg mass on a spring (k = 200 N/m) is displaced 0.1 m from equilibrium. The maximum speed of the mass is

If the length of a pendulum is quadrupled, the period

A block on a spring oscillates with amplitude A. At displacement x = A/2 from equilibrium, the ratio of kinetic energy to potential energy is

The period of a mass-spring system is [math]. If the mass is doubled, the new period is

A pendulum clock keeps accurate time at sea level. If taken to a mountaintop where g is slightly smaller, the clock will

A spring-mass system has a period of 2 s. If the spring constant is halved and the mass is doubled, the new period is
