Answer 2

well The mass on a spring is an oscillation. A periodic cycle of position about an equilibrium condition. IT ISN'T considered a "wave" because it isn't propagating anywhere.

Answer 3

well?

Answer 4

Would the motion be like a harmonic motion
?

Answer 5

yes i will be harmonic

Answer 6

*IT

Answer 7

so r u good

Answer 8

Yeah thank you :)

Answer 9

no prob anytime

Answer 10

does the negative sign in F = -kx mean that the force is opposite of the position?

Answer 11

is this negative sign in potential energy?

Answer 12

Im not sure, i answered that it meant the force was opposite of the displacement so the negative goes with the x?

Answer 13

negative means decreasing

Answer 14

well thats all i has in my knowledge as u see its my first year with physics

Answer 15

Oh well at least you know more than me, thank you for trying :)

Answer 16

thx
