VI. Summative Assessment

A. Multiple Choice. Read the items very carefully and select the letter of the correct
answer. Justify your answers by providing short discussions or solutions.

1. Statement 1: Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM) is the name given to oscillatory

motion for a system where the net force can be described by Hooke’s law, and
such a system is called a simple harmonic oscillator.

A. Statement 1 is true but Statement 2 is false.

B. Statement 1 is false but Statement 2 is true.
C. Both statements are true.
D. Both Statements are false.

2. Statement 1: For mass on spring systems, k is called the spring constant.

Statement 2: The stiffer the spring is, the larger the spring constant, k.

A. Statement 1 is true but Statement 2 is false.

B. Statement 1 is false but Statement 2 is true.
C. Both statements are true.
D. Both Statements are false.

3. Statement 1: If the spring is compressed, the displacement is positive but the

restoring force is negative.
Statement 2: At the equilibrium position, the spring offers no restoring force.

A. Statement 1 is true but Statement 2 is false.
