What are the 'rules' of oscillation?
-Velocity is largest at the centre
-Acceleration is greatest at the Amplitude
-Restoring Force is greatest at the amplitude
-Elatsic Potential Energy is greatest at the amplitude
-Kinetic Energy is greatest at the centre
Total Energy=Kinetic+Elastic Potential.

If two cars are moving, labelled car A and car B. Car A moves at 15 m/s and B at 10 m/s but car B also accelerated at 2 m/s/s. If the two both travel for ten seconds, which car will travel further?
On the line of centres between the Earth and the Moon, there is a point where the net gravitational force is zero. Given that the distance between the two is 385,000 km, and that the Earth has a mass 81x that of the Moon, how far is this point from Earth?
A gold leaf electroscope with a zinc plate top is charged by briefly connecting it to the negative electrode of a high-voltage supply. Explain how the gold leaf will appear and how the leaf can be caused to drop again.
