stiffness

Question 2

It is difficult to make things with relatively high [blank] move quickly

Answer 2

mass

Question 3

In order to vibrate, an object must have which of the following properties?

Answer 3

mass and elasticity

Question 4

Describe the steps of the process of simple harmonic motion

Answer 4

The object is at rest or equilibrium (center)
Force is applied, which sets the object into motion.
The object moves to a point of maximum displacement
The object returns back to equilibrium (center) and keeps moving past that point, to a point of maximum displacement in the opposite direction.
The object returns once again to the center point (equilibrium) and moves towards a point of maximum displacement in the opposite direction. This process continues indefinitely (in theory) or until damping has occurred.
