1. A student carries out an experiment to investigate the relationship between the period of oscillation,
T, of a spring and the mass, m, of a load attached to the spring.
The arrangement of apparatus is shown in Diagram 1.1.

Diagram 1.1
Rajah 1.1

The student starts the experiment with a load mass, m = 20.0 g. The load is displaced downwards to
a fixed distance and released so that the spring oscillates. The time taken for 10 complete
oscillations, t, is recorded. The experiment is repeated with load masses, m = 30.0 g, 40.0 g, 50.0 g
and 60.0 g.
The corresponding readings of the stopwatch for 10 complete oscillations are shown in Diagrams
1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6.

Murid itu memulakan eksperimen dengan jisim beban, m = 20.0 g. Beban itu disesarkan ke bawah

ayunan lengkap, t, dicatat.
Eksperimen diulangi dengan jisim beban, m = 30.0 g, 40.0 g, 50.0 g dan 60.0 g. Bacaan jam randik

2. Two students carried out an experiment to measure the speed of sound by using the principle of echo.
They both stand next to each other at a distance, d, apart from a high wall. Student A claps and
student B measures the time, t, between the clap and the echo by using digital watch. Distance
between two points is measured by using measuring tape.
The result of this experiment is shown in the graph t against d in Diagram 2.
