Mutiple Choice Question 17 The period T of oscillation depends on the amplitude A of the mass, because the studentsAcan directly change this value during the experiment.The net force F exerted on the mass must be directly proportional to the vertical position y,Вbecause the net force exerted on the mass is the restoring force.The mass's acceleration is proportional to the square of the vertical position y, because theelastic potential energy of the mass-strip system can be modeled by the equation for springpotential energy.The motion of the mass repeats after a specific time interval, because total mechanical energyis considered to be conserved in simple harmonic motion. Students attach a thin strip of metal to a table so that the strip is horizontal in relation to the ground. A sectionof the strip hangs off the edge of the table. A mass is secured to the end of the hanging section of the strip andis then displaced so that the mass-strip system oscillates, as shown in the figure. Students make variousmeasurements of the net force F exerted on the mass as a result of the force due to gravity and the normalforce from the strip, the vertical position y of the mass above and below its equilibrium position y, and theperiod of oscillation T when the mass is displaced by different amplitudes A. Which of the followingexplanations is correct about the evidence required to conclude that the mass undergoes simple harmonicmotion?
