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. (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?

Spring Potential Energy

The potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or the energy held by the object due to its position relative to other objects, its force like stresses, charge, and other factors affecting the particles of the body. The potential energy is the measure of the net work done by or on the body. The spring potential energy is the potential energy stored due to the deformation of an elastic spring and this elasticity is due to the stretched spring. The elasticity is the ability of a solid-state matter to come back to its equilibrium position or original position after any kind of external force is acted on it. It is also known as Elastic potential energy. The potential energy here is caused due to the displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position to another position and this potential energy is equal to the net work done due to the stretching of the spring. It also resembles the same mechanics of the oscillation of a simple pendulum, where due to the external force, the object moves from its equilibrium position to its maximum ends and the periodic motion continues till it comes back to the equilibrium position to rest.
