Question

The graph shows the vertical position of a ball attached to a spring oscillating between a low point and a high point as a function of time. Select all statements that describe the graph?

A. The ball travels 12 cm in 2 s.

B. the amplitude is 6 cm.

C.The ball travels from its highest point to its lowest point in 1 s.

D.the ball travels 3 cm in 0.75 s.

Answer 1

The ball travels 12 cm in 2s

The ball travels from its highest point to its lowest poin in 1s

Explanation:

Answer 2

a) , c)

Explanation:

Statement A)

From 0.25s to 0.75s

the ball has travelled 3cm

From 0.75s to 1.25s

the ball has travelled 3cm

This means that in 1 second ball has covered 6 cm so in 2 sec it will cover 12 cm.

Statement B)

False

The amplitude of the oscillation is the maximum distance of the object either in positive y axis or negative y axis.

so its is 3 cm.

Statement C)

At 0.75s

Ball is at its highest point

At 1.75

Ball is at its lowest point

so in 1 second the ball travels from its highest point to its lowest point.

Statement D)

False

The ball travel 3cm in 0.5s.
