Procedure:
Part I: Dependence of Frequency on the Amplitude of Oscillation
1. Open AF_1301.swf.
2. Set the following parameters: k =1 unit , initial velocity v = 0, and the initial position x = 30. 3. Run the simulation by clicking on the start button.
It describes an oscillating body with the xaxis as the time and the y- axis as the distance with an amplitude of 30
Using a stopwatch, determine the time it takes to make 10 complete oscillations. Compute for the period and the frequency of oscillation. Make two trials.

4.
Using k = 1, and initial velocity v = 0, reset the initial position to x = 75 units. Run the simulation.
Describe the graph-line formed. Compare this graph to the graph in no. 3
Using a stopwatch, determine the time it takes to make 10 complete oscillations. Compute for the frequency and the period of oscillation. Make 2 trials.
Time for 10 complete oscillations Trial 1 16.62 Trial 2 16.44 Ave. 16.25
Period 1.63
Frequency 0.61 Hz
What does the initial position represent? Does the frequency of oscillation depend on the initial position of the oscillator?
It represents the start of the oscillation and is also the amplitude of the oscillator
Yes it does, when the initial position of the oscillator is farther, the lesser the frequency of oscillation
7.
Plot values of the spring constant k against the values of the frequency of oscillation f.
A line going to the positive right rising upwards as the constant k goes upwards and f goes to the right of the graph
proportionally. If the k gets bigger, then f also will get bigger also
10.Keeping the values of k and x constant, set the initial velocity v to 23.72. Determine the frequency of oscillation. Frequency of oscillation 0.60 Hz Compare this value to the frequency obtained in no. 9. Does the frequency of oscillation depend on the initial velocity of the oscillator? Yes it does, the bigger the initial velocity, the shorter frequency the oscillator will have

What happens to the frequency of oscillation as the mass of the oscillator increases?
The mass of the object placed on the spring gets bigger and the frequency of the oscillator gets smaller in value, increasing its frequency
Plot the values of mass, m (along the y-axis) against the values of frequency, f. What is the shape of the graph?
Rising upward, like a line going upward which has a positive slope
Plot the values of f2 (along the x-axis) against the values of 1/m (along the yaxis). What is the shape of
the graph? What does the graph suggest about the relationship between f and m?
CONCLUSION:
1.) Amplitude will raise the frequency, or by losing it values 2.) It is Directly proportional to the spring constant, the longer interval, the longer the frequency of oscillation 3.) The initial velocity will be the push needed to add in the velocity. The bigger the initial velocity, the shorter frequency of oscillation 4.) The frequency of oscillation is indirectly proportional to the mass
Going Further:
1. Devise a procedure on how to determine the masses of the red, green and gold loads. Give the actual values of the red, green and gold loads. __ You must be able to ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________
