Chapter 15, Problem 15.10OQ

A mass-spring system moves with simple harmonic motion along the x axis between turning points at x1 = 20 cm and x2 = 60 cm. For parts (i) through (iii), choose from the same five possibilities, (i) At which position does the particle have the greatest magnitude of momentum? (a) 20 cm (b) 30cm (c) 40 cm (d) some other position (e) The greatest value occurs at multiple points, (ii) At which position does the particle have greatest kinetic energy? (iii) At which position does the particle-spring system have the greatest total energy?
