A-LevelPhysicsOscillationsOct/Nov 2019Paper 5 Q215 Marks
A student is investigating the oscillations of a mass attached to two springs connected in series, as shown in Fig. 2.1. springs mass Fig. 2.1 A stopwatch is used to measure the time t for 10 oscillations. The measurement of t is repeated and the average period T is determined. The experiment is repeated for different masses. It is suggested that T and mass M are related by the equation T= (2πM^q) / √k where k is the spring constant of the two springs in series and q is a constant.
