Problem 1.1:
An object in circular motion has an easily defined period, frequency and angular
velocity. Can circular motion be considered an oscillation?
[Solution]
Problem 1.2:
What is the equilibrium point of a ball bouncing up and down elastically on a
floor?
[Solution]
Problem 1.3:
A mass on a spring completes one oscillation, of total length 2 meters, in 5
seconds. What is the frequency of oscillation?
[Solution]
Problem 1.4:
The maximum compression of an oscillating mass on a spring is 1 m, and during
one full oscillation the spring travels at an average velocity of 4 m/s. What
is the period of the oscillation?
[Solution]
