A block with mass m =6.3 kg is hung from a vertical spring. When
the mass hangs in equilibrium, the spring stretches x = 0.26 m.
While at this equilibrium position, the mass is then given an
initial push downward at v = 4.1 m/s. The block oscillates on the
spring without friction.
1)
What is the spring constant of the spring?
N/m
2)
What is the oscillation frequency?
Hz
3)
After t = 0.32 s what is the speed of the block?
m/s
4)
What is the magnitude of the maximum acceleration of the
block?
m/s2
5)
At t = 0.32 s what is the magnitude of the net force on the
block?
N
6)
Where is the potential energy of the system the greatest?
At the highest point of the oscillation.
At the new equilibrium position of the oscillation.
At the lowest point of the oscillation.
