Question

A block rests on a horizontal, frictionless table. It is attached to a spring and set into motion. The picture above shows snapshots of the block at 5 different labelled locations during the motion. The two extreme locations (Points B and E) represent the two extremes of the motion of the block. Point A represents the equilibrium position. Evaluate each statement below as positive, negative, or zero.

The kinetic energy of the block at location D is ____.

The kinetic energy of the block at location A is ____.

The potential energy of the spring at location E is ____.

The kinetic energy of the block at location B is ____.

The potential energy of the spring at location A is ____.

T T T Equilibrium

Explanation / Answer

The kinetic energy of the block at location D is positive

The kinetic energy of the block at location A is positive

The potential energy of the spring at location E is Negative

The kinetic energy of the block at location B is zero

The potential energy of the spring at location A is zero
