A horizontal spring with a spring constant of 20.0 N/m is attached to a 0.750 kg
mass on a horizontal, frictionless table. The mass is pulled until the spring is
stretched to 10.0 cm, then released at time t = 0 s.
At what time will the mass first pass the equilibrium position?
At what position is the block after 1.00 second?
How fast is it going when it passes the equilibrium position?
We are given extension in spring. This is the amplitude of oscillation. We find angular frequency and hence equation for Simple harmonic motion. We then find the time and position. We then find the speed at equilibrium position using conservation of energy.

- A mass resting on a horizontal, frictionless surface is attached to one end of a spring; the other end is fixed to a wall. It takes 3.0 JJ of work to compress the spring by 0.13 mm . If the spring is compressed, and the mass is released from rest, it experiences a maximum acceleration of 12 m/s2m/s2. Find the value of the mass. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.arrow_forwardA spring-mass system has a spring with spring constant k=85.0 N/m and a 650.0 gram mass on the end of the spring. The surface supporting the mass is frictionless and there is negligible air resistance. When the system is first observed (at time t = 0), the spring is stretched 13.20 cm from its natural length and the velocity of the mass is 1.90 m/s in the +x direction. 1. What is the displacement function x(t) for this motion? 2. If the spring-mass system was placed in a chamber where the air resistance has a drag constant of b = 1.40, what is the frequency of the new system, in rad/s? Round to the nearest hundredth (0.01).

- 7. Two masses, m1 = 2 kg and m2 = 8 kg, are pressed onto identical springs (k = 2 × 104 N/m) so that the springs are each compressed by 10 cm. The masses are then released; they slide towards each other on a frictionless table and undergo an elastic collision. Find the speed of each mass before the collision. Find the speed of each mass after the collision. After the collision, m1 will rebound to the left and hit the spring again. How far will the spring compress before it momentarily comes to rest? m2 m,arrow_forwardA car with mass 1530 kg crashes into a wall.
