Question

a system where you attach a mass to spring and hang the system vertically. Imagine taking this system, pulling the mass down and letting it go. The mass will oscillate with simple harmonic motion between -xm (the bottom), +xm (the top) and x=0 (the original rest position). Answer the following questions with reference to the points +xm, -xm, and x=0. ................................... a) At what point(s) does the mass have the most kinetic energy? The least kinetic energy? Explain................ b) At what point(s) does the mass have the most total energy? The least total energy? Explain.............. ***will vote lifesaver thank you!!!!****

Explanation / Answer

a. at the top +x point cause potential energy increases with height p.e=mgh and the least potential energy will at -xm cause its the minimum height in motion b.mass will feel more force at the point which is near to earth. which is -x and the least force at the top +x it is due to as we know when we move away from earth the gravitation force decreases. so near the earth the force will more hope u better understand rate me well
