Question
The total mechanical energy in a system consisting of
a block attached to a spring is 14.0 J. The mass of the block is 0.75kg.
The motion is frictionless and horizontal. The force constant of the
spring is 110.0 N/m.
a) What is the maximum amplitude of vibration of the spring (maximum
compression or extension) from the equilibrium?
b) What would be the maximum speed of the block?
c) What is the speed of the mass when it is 10.0cm from equilibrium?
