Question

A 0.539-kg mass is attached to a horizontal spring with k = 109 N/m. The mass slides across a frictionless surface. The spring is stretched 25.3 cm from equilibrium, and then the mass is released from rest.

a) Find the mechanical energy of the system.
3.4885 J

b) Find the speed of the mass when it has moved 2.89 cm.

c) Find the maximum speed of the mass.

Explanation / Answer

0.5kx^2=3.4885joules;


b) speed=0.5mv^2+0.5k(0.2241^2)=3.4885

v=1.6698m/s;



c) o.5mv^2=3.4885;

v=3.5978m/sec
