two mass-spring systems vibrate with simple harmonic motion. If the spring constants are equal and the mass of one system is twice that of the other, which system has a greater period?

Respuesta :

Answer:

  the system with the larger mass has the greater period

Explanation:

You want to know which system has a greater period if the spring constants are equal and the mass of one system is twice that of the other in spring-mass systems.

Period

The period of such a system is given by ...

  T = 2π√(m/k)

For systems with the same value of k, the period is proportional to the square root of the mass. The system with the larger mass will have the greater period.
