Place a raisin or marshmallow on the end of a stick of spaghetti. Shake your hands back and forth to make the pasta/raisin system oscillate. Materials: Pasta and Raisins/Marshmallows Does the period depend on the mass? Does the period depend on the length? Answer the following questions on a separate paper. a) Do you think this system motion would fall under the classification of simple harmonic motion? Provide as much evidences as you can for your answer. b) Do your answers to A and B above matches a spring/mass system or a pendulum? How so? c) Do you think this system can be modelled as pendulum, spring, or neither? What are your reasons for each?

Definition Definition Special type of oscillation where the force of restoration is directly proportional to the displacement of the object from its mean or initial position. If an object is in motion such that the acceleration of the object is directly proportional to its displacement (which helps the moving object return to its resting position) then the object is said to undergo a simple harmonic motion. An object undergoing SHM always moves like a wave.
