Question

What would be value of the y-intercept if the spring we used were an ideal massless spring?

Answer 1

Sorry I don't know what is the answer

Answer 2

Answer:

The value of the y-intercept if the spring we used were an ideal massless spring is zero.

Explanation:

The value of the y-intercept if the spring we used were an ideal massless spring depends on the x-intercept or it will be zero.

We know that an important kind of oscillatory motion is called simple harmonic motion. If $x_o$ is in the equilibrium position, the restoring force has the form

$F=-k(x-x_o)$.

An object attached to an ideal, massless spring, should perform a simple harmonic motion.

This kind of oscillation is differentiated by the following characteristics:

The position as a function of time, $x(t)$, is a sinusoidal function.

The period of the oscillations doesn't depend on their amplitude.

The value of the y-intercept if the spring we used were an ideal massless spring depends on the x-intercept or it will be zero.
