Object A that is attached to Spring 1 follows a simple harmonic motion. Object B that is attached to Spring 2 also follows a simple harmonic motion. The spring constant of Spring 1 is larger than that of Spring 2. If the mass of Object A is the same as that of Object B, choose the correct statement about the frequency of Object A (fA) and the frequency of Object B (fB). Group of answer choices fA is larger than fB fA is smaller than fB fA is the same as fB It does not have enough information to determine which frequency is larger.
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.
