A 0.4 kg mass is attached to a spring that can compress as well as stretch (spring constant 50 N/m). The mass and spring are resting on a horizontal tabletop. The mass is pulled, stretching the spring 48 cm. When it is released, the system begins to oscillate. (c) Proceed as in part a*: Substitute all known values and identify any unknown(s). Can you determine the increase in thermal energy? *this is part a: (a) Assuming the transfer of energy to thermal energy systems is negligible, construct a complete Energy-System Diagram that could be used to predict the speed of the mass as it passes a point that is a distance of 39cm from its equilibrium point on the other side of the equilibrium position (spring is compressed). Substitute all known values of constants and variables into the algebraic expression of energy conservation, and identify any unknown(s). Do you have enough information to find the speed of the mass?
