Ablock of mass m attached to the end of a spring of spring constant undergoes simple harmonic motion with amplitude and angular frequency ω. the position of the block is described by a cosine function with an initial phase angle phi=0 . suppose that each of the variables m, k,a, and ϕ is increased in value. classify which increases produce an increase in the frequency of oscillation and which do not. increases frequency does not increase frequency.
options:
increase a
increase k
increase m
increase phi

Ablock of mass m = 2.5 kg is attached to a spring with spring constant k = 740 n/m. it is initially at rest on an inclined plane that is at an angle of theta= 26 with respect to the horizontal, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is uk = 0.17. in the initial position, where the spring is compressed by a distance of d = 0.16 m, the mass is at its lowest position and the spring is compressed the maximum amount. take the initial gravitational energy of the block as zero. the block's initial mechanical energy is 9.472 j.b. if the spring pushes the block up the incline, what distance l in meters will the block travel before coming to rest? the spring remains attached to both the block and the fixed wall throughout its motion.
