Question
Questions 2-5 reference the picture of a mass attached to a spring shown. The leftmost picture gives the spring in its relaxed (equilibrium) position. The mass is lifted to point "B" and let go such that it oscillates up and down as shown in the rightmost position. Positions B and C are its highest and lowest points while bouncing. Point A is where the mass is traveling the fastest. Neglect air drag.

*Diagram Explanation:*

The diagram illustrates a spring attached to a 100 g mass. There are three marked positions:

- Position A (equilibrium position): The spring is at its natural length with no external forces applied.
- Position B (highest position): The spring is compressed, indicating the mass was lifted.
- Position C (lowest position): The spring is stretched, indicating the mass has descended as the spring oscillates.

*Question:*

At what point will the mass have the largest elastic (spring) potential energy?

- ○ A
- ○ B
- ○ C
- ○ All points will have the same amount of elastic potential energy.

Step 1

Given : mass attached to spring, m = 100 g

Spring Oscillating between point B and point C. 

B is highest point of bouncing. 

C is lowest point of bouncing.
