Question

4. Plot the potential energy vs. position for the for scenario in the figure. Call B the equilibrium position of the spring and define your gravitational potential energy such that Vg = 0 at the level of the spring, (i.e. define your coordinate system such that h = 0 at the level of the spring). Describe the motion of the block if H = 1 meter, the mass of the block is 500 grams, the spring constant is 3 N/m, and you compress the block 2 meters into the spring before letting it go. Draw in the total energy on the graph.

Explanation / Answer

Originally all the energy is spring potential:
PEs=
