Document Summary
The position vs time graph of a mass attached to a spring is shown in the figure. At point p the mass has: positive velocity and positive acceleration, positive velocity and negative acceleration, positive velocity and zero acceleration, negative velocity and positive acceleration, negative velocity and negative acceleration. Simple harmonic motion occurs under the influence of: a constant restoring force, a restoring force that is linear with displacement, a restoring force that is sinusoidal with displacement, a force proportional to velocity, small forces.
