- Note that when the system is at rest in the equilibrium position, the spring is already stretched. I don't want question 19 from the attached photo answered. Just this one: 20. Write an expression for how far the spring is stretched when the cart is at rest in the equilibriumposition. Name this distance y0. In the data run, the positions are measured from the rest (equilibrium) position of the cart. Name thisposition y1 . The distance that the spring is stretched is y=y0 - y1. The minus sign is because apositive position for the cart decreases the spring stretch. (See the attached image.) Substitute your expression from question 20 into y=y0-y1.arrow_forwardSOLVE STEP BY STEP IN DIGITAL FORMAT 1. Consider a mass-spring system in a horizontal plane, in which a spring is attached to a fixed point and at the other end to a mass of 0.5 kg, the movement begins with the spring stretched to 10 cm, finally, We know that the spring constant is 50 N/m.a. Determines the period of the system.b. Get the position, velocity and acceleration in a time of one second.arrow_forwardTwo masses, each having a value of M, are vibrating vertically on a spring with a Hooke's law constant, k. At the lowest point of the vibration, one of the masses falls off, so that now the total mass is M instead of 2M. Comparing the new vibrational motion to the original vibrational motion: 1) How is the period of vibration different, if at all? Explain you reasoning. 2) How is the maximum acceleration different, if at all? Explain your reasoning. 3) How is the maximum velocity different, if at all? Explain your reasoning. Quantitative comparisons are preferred: i.e., one-third as large or twice as fast.arrow_forward
