This worksheet contains 7 problems about simple harmonic motion involving springs and pendulums. Students are asked to calculate amplitudes, frequencies, periods of oscillation, spring constants, and the acceleration due to gravity based on given mass values, spring constants, amplitudes of displacement, and other physical characteristics. The problems cover concepts like the relationship between spring constant and natural frequency, and how changing mass affects the period of a spring or pendulum.
