Spring Quiz
Simple hamonic motion problems can be difficult ... especially when they involve a mass on a vertical spring. This Interactive provides a structure problem to solve for a vibrating mass on a vertical spring that vibrates from B (equilibrium position) to C (below equilibrium position) to A (above equilibrium position). The problem requires application of Newton's laws and energy conservation. The Interactive steps users through each part of the problem, providing hints along the way.
Users are encouraged to open the Interactive and explore. A student activity sheet is not needed for this interactive.
