Question
A ball of mass m is connected to two rubber bands of length L, each under tension T, as in Figure P15.67. The ball is displaced by a small distance y perpendicular to the length of the rubber bands. Assuming that the tension does not change, show that (a) the restoring force is -(2T/L)y and (b) the system exhibits simple harmonic motion with an angular frequency ω = √2T/mL.

Block 1 of mass 4.80 kg slides toward block 2 with a velocity of magnitude 6.90 m/s, directed along the spring's length. The two blocks undergo a completely inelastic collision at time t = 3.00 ms.

Let x be the displacement, where x = 0 is the equilibrium position and x > 0 when the spring is stretched. The block is pushed, and the spring compressed, until x, = -4.00 cm. It then is released from rest and undergoes simple harmonic motion. (a) What is the block's maximum speed (in m/s) after it is released? 1.23 X Mechanical energy is conserved in this system, and the gravitational term remains unchanged (since all motion is horizontal). Write an expression for mechanical energy that includes the kinetic energy and the potential energy of the spring. Which term(s) can be ignored when the spring is compressed and the block at rest?
