Question
A mass is placed on a frictionless, horizontal table. A spring (k=115 N/mk=115 N/m), which can be stretched or compressed, is placed on the table. A 3-kg mass is anchored to the wall. The equilibrium position is marked at zero. A student moves the mass out to x=7.0 cmx=7.0 cm and releases it from rest. The mass oscillates in simple harmonic motion. Find the position, velocity, and acceleration of the mass at time t=3.00 st=3.00 s.
x(t=3.00 s)=x(t=3.00 s)= Correct cm
v(t=3.00 s)=v(t=3.00 s)= Incorrect cm/s

- A 0.45 kg block rests on a frictionless horizontal countertop, where it is attached to a massless spring whose k-value equals 19.0 N/m. 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 x₁ = -4.00 cm. It then is released from rest and undergoes simple harmonic motion.
