a) What variables may affect the angular frequency of a mass on a spring? Explain how you think each variable may affect the angular frequency. Are there any relevant variables you think will not affect the angular frequency? Again, explain.

Expert Solution
Step 1
The restoring force is directly proportional to the object’s displacement and acts towards the object’s equilibrium position.
The restoring force is given by,
F=-k*x
Where k is the Force constant and x is the displacement.
Step 2
An object is in simple harmonic motion, the acceleration of the object is directly proportional to its displacement from its equilibrium position. The acceleration is always directed towards the equilibrium position.
As the object oscillates, its acceleration is given by,
a=-ω2x
