Experimental setup for a horizontal spring-mass oscillator.
Experimental setup for a horizontal spring-mass oscillator.
An experiment is conducted to determine the angular frequency \(\omega\) of a horizontal spring-mass oscillator on a frictionless track. In each trial, a block of mass \(m\) attached to an ideal spring is pulled to a different amplitude \(A\) from equilibrium and released from rest, and a motion sensor measures the block's maximum speed \(v_{\max}\). Which of the following graphs will yield a straight line of best fit whose slope is equal to \(\omega\)?
