A 0.150 kg mass is suspended from a vertical spring, A motion sensor is placed under it on the ground facing upward. The mass is pulled upwards and then released. The data collection begins as the mass is released. The graphs of Height vs Time and of Velocity vs Time are shown below. 1.5 E 1.0 0.5 0.0 1 2 Time (s) 2.0 1.5 not 1.0 0.5 0.0 ndil -0.5 -1.0 -1.5 moto -2.0 Time (s) A) Use the information given to find the time period, the frequency, the amplitude, the spring constant, and the spring's stretch to the equilibrium position.

Simple harmonic motion
Simple harmonic motion is a type of periodic motion in which an object undergoes oscillatory motion. The restoring force exerted by the object exhibiting SHM is proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium position. The force is directed towards the mean position. We see many examples of SHM around us, common ones are the motion of a pendulum, spring and vibration of strings in musical instruments, and so on.
Simple Pendulum
A simple pendulum comprises a heavy mass (called bob) attached to one end of the weightless and flexible string.
Oscillation
In Physics, oscillation means a repetitive motion that happens in a variation with respect to time. There is usually a central value, where the object would be at rest. Additionally, there are two or more positions between which the repetitive motion takes place. In mathematics, oscillations can also be described as vibrations. The most common examples of oscillation that is seen in daily lives include the alternating current (AC) or the motion of a moving pendulum.
