CAPE Physics Unit 1 · 2014 · Paper 1 · Question Q16

Item 16 refers to the following diagram below which shows a mass, m, hanging from a spring with force constant, k, and oscillating vertically with amplitude A. The MAXIMUM velocity on the mass during this simple harmonic motion is

1. (A)-A
2. (B)+A
3. (C)\sqrt{\frac{m}{k}} A
4. (D)\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}} A

This question uses a figure or table from the paper — you'll see it when you practise.
