A mass on a spring is undergoing simple harmonic motion. At which position is the mass moving at its maximum speed? A. The mass only moves with a single speed, and so it's moving at its maximum speed at every position. B. The mass moves at its maximum speed at its maximum displacement, that is, where the spring is maximally stretched. C. The maximum speed occurs at x = 0, the spring's equilibrium position. D. The maximum speed occurs at the position where the kinetic energy of the mass is equal to the elastic potential energy of the spring. A mass on a spring is undergoing simple harmonic motion. Which one statement best describes what happens to the different forms of energy as the mass oscillates? A. The kinetic and elastic potential energies both continually increase and so the total energy continually increases. B. The kinetic and elastic potential energies are both constant and so the total energy also remains constant. C. The kinetic energy is continually increasing and the elastic potential energy is continually decreasing so that the total energy remains constant. D. The kinetic and elastic potential energies are continually interchanging but the total energy remains constant.
