Kinematics
Brief description of object: the object moved upward, then downward to a point slightly lower than it's original position at the start of one period. The graphs shown to the right illustrate certain elements of the mass's motion: Its position over time, its velocity over time, and its acceleration over time (all values shown for ONE PERIOD)

Spring Constant: Hooke's law states that the restoring force of a spring is directly proportional to a small displacement.
Spring Constant for one period: T=2pi(sqrt)m/k
For this lab: 0.8=2pi(sqrt)500(k)
Spring Constant for one period: T=2pi(sqrt)m/k
For this lab: 0.8=2pi(sqrt)500(k)
