Select each correct answer.

Imagine a mass hanging from a spring that behaves ideally. Which factor will not affect the period of this mass-spring system?

A. varying the displacement of the mass from its equilibrium position
B. changing the weight of the mass attached to the spring
C. changing the strength of the spring (its spring constant)
D. increasing the amount of time the oscillating system is observed
E. keeping track of the precise position of the mass through time



Answer :

GinnyAnswer

Final answer:

Factors that do not affect the period of a mass-spring system are weight of the mass, observation time, and tracking position. Mass and spring constant primarily determine the period.


Explanation:

The factors that will not affect the period of a mass-spring system are:

  1. changing the weight of the mass attached to the spring
  2. increasing the amount of time the oscillating system is observed
  3. keeping track of the precise position of the mass through time

The period of a mass-spring system is primarily influenced by the mass and the spring constant, with period depending on the relationship between these two factors.
