Question
For a mass suspended on a spring in the vertical direction, the time for one complete oscillation will depend on: 1) the value for g (the acceleration due to gravity). 2) the distance the mass was originally pulled down. 3) the maximum speed of the oscillating mass. 4) the time doesn't depend on any of the above. 5) both choices A and C are valid.
Answer
the time doesn't depend on any of the above.

This is known as simple harmonic motion, and the period is given by the formula: T = 2π sqrt(m/k) where: T is the period m is the mass k is the spring constant Thus, the time for one complete oscillation doesn't depend on the value for g (the acceleration due to gravity), the distance the mass was originally pulled down, or the maximum speed of the oscillating mass. So, the correct answer is: the time doesn't depend on any of the above.
