Answer 1

The period of the ball in simple harmonic motion is 0.634 s.

What is period?

Period can be defined as the time ( in seconds) taken for a body to complete one oscillation.

To calculate the period of the ball in SHM, we use the formula below.

Formula:

• T = 2π√(m/k)............... Equation 1

Where:

• T = Period of the ball
• m = mass of the ball
• k = spring constant
• π  = pie

From the question,

Given:

• m = 2 kg
• k = 196 N/m
• π = 3.14

Substitute these values into equation 1

• T = 2(3.14)√(2/196)
• T = 6.28√(0.010204)
• T = 0.634 s

Hence, The period of the ball in simple harmonic motion is 0.634 s.
