The time needed for an object to complete one full cycle of simpleharmonic motion is the .2. occurs when more than one wave moves through the samemedium at the same time.3. When waves are superposed, any point that does not experiencedisplacement is a(n) .4. A disturbance that carries energy through matter or space is a(n).5. A wave in which the disturbance is parallel to the direction oftravel is a(n) .6. The maximum distance an object in simple harmonic motionmoves from equilibrium is called the .7. The lowest point of a transverse wave is the .8. The shortest distance between two points where the wave patternrepeats is the .9. Any motion that repeats in a regular cycle is called .10. When two waves interfere constructively, the point with the greatestdisplacement is called the .11. A(n) travels in a direction perpendicular to its displacement.12. The number of complete oscillations a wave makes each second isthe of the wave.13. refers to the change in direction waves experience at theboundary between two different media.<strong>14</strong>.

Use complete sentences.1. According to Hooke’s law, describe a graph of force versus displacement for an elastic spring.2. What does the slope of the graph in question 1 represent?3. What does the area under the curve in the graph in question 1 represent?4. What are the conditions necessary for simple harmonic motion?5. What is the relationship between the potential energy and the displacement of an elastic spring?6. A mass on a spring is moving in simple harmonic motion. When is the mass’s acceleration thegreatest? When is it the least? Why?7. Some cars have bumpers that are modified springs. How does this design protect the car in theevent of a crash?Copyright © Glencoe/McGraw-Hill, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.8. How does the mass of the bob on a pendulum affect the pendulum’s period?112 Chapters 11–15 Resources <strong>Physics</strong>: Principles and Problems
Namecontinued <strong>Study</strong> <strong>Guide</strong> <strong>14</strong>In your textbook, read about pendulums and resonance on pages 378–380.For each statement below, write true or rewrite the italicized part to make the statement true.9. The swing of a pendulum is an example of simple harmonic motion.10. The restoring force on a pendulum bob is inversely proportional tothe bob’s displacement.11. The net force on a pendulum at any given moment is opposite thependulum’s displacement at that moment.12. Resonance occurs when small forces are applied at regular intervalsto an oscillating or vibrating object and the amplitude of theobject’s oscillation decreases.13. In order to create resonance, the time interval between applicationsof force must be proportional to the period of oscillation.<strong>14</strong>. Pegs arranged in a circle on the floor beneath a swinging pendulumwill get knocked down because the floor is rotating as Earth rotates.Copyright © Glencoe/McGraw-Hill, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.Section <strong>14</strong>.2Wave PropertiesIn your textbook, read about mechanical waves and measuring waves on pages 381–386.Circle the letter of the choice that best completes the statement.1.

When a wave encounters a boundary, the wave that strikes theboundary is called the incident wave.2. When a wave encounters a boundary, the wave that returns to theoriginal medium is call the refracted wave.3. When a wave from a light, flexible spring passes into a heavier,stiffer spring, almost all of the wave’s energy is reflected back to thelight spring.4. When a wave is sent down a spring connected to a wall, none of theenergy in the wave is reflected back.5. When interference produces standing waves in a rope, the ropeappears to be standing still.Copyright © Glencoe/McGraw-Hill, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.Answer the following questions. Use complete sentences.6. What happens when a wave moves across a boundary from one medium to another? Consider twosprings, one large and one small, joined end-to-end.
