Diagram 1
Spring A is connected to a post.
A force acts on the apparatus for a short period of time, pulling both buzzers to the right.
During this time, buzzer A moves 2 cm and buzzer B moves 4 cm.
(a) (i) Explain why buzzer B travels with twice the average speed of buzzer A.
(2)
because it has to experience twice the number of springs, twice the force
