• 1. Various springs & weights.
  2. Penduli with avarious lengths & masses.
  3. Oscillator on airtrack --variable mass and variable spring constant, if possible, which consists of loose springs that attach to each end of the airtrack with a cart in the middle.

• 1) Tacoma Narrows video.
  2) Damped mass on a spring.
  3) Doppler effect.
  4) Transverse waves
  5) Longitudinal waves.
  6) Bob's resonance demo: Five pendulums (two of same length and three of different lengths) all suspended from the same horizontal string (about 1.5 m long). The two pendulums of the same length should be in positions 1 and 4.

• 1. Standing waves.
