The motion of an object attached to a spring is directly proportional to the spring constant. This means that as the spring constant increases, the amplitude (maximum displacement) of the object also increases, and vice versa.
The mass of the object affects its motion by changing the period of the oscillations. A heavier object will have a longer period, meaning it will take longer to complete one full cycle of oscillation compared to a lighter object.
Simple harmonic motion is when an object attached to a spring oscillates back and forth without any external forces acting on it. Damped harmonic motion, on the other hand, is when external forces (such as friction) cause the amplitude of the oscillations to decrease over time.
The initial displacement, or starting position, of the object attached to a spring will determine the amplitude and phase of the oscillations. A larger initial displacement will result in a larger amplitude, while a smaller initial displacement will result in a smaller amplitude.
No, the motion of an object attached to a spring will never reach a constant velocity. This is because the spring will always exert a restoring force on the object, causing it to continue oscillating back and forth rather than reaching a constant velocity.
