- A 0.5 kg mass is attached to a light spring with a spring constant of 30 N/m. The mass is displaced a distance of 12 cm and released to vibrate with SHM on a horizontal frictionless surface. What is the total energy in the system? What is the maximum velocity? What is the maximum acceleration?
- A light spring and a 0.65 kg block are placed on a horizontal frictionless surface. The spring is compressed a distance of 6 cm and released to vibrate with SHM.
If the spring constant is 10 N/m, what is the initial acceleration of the block? What is the initial force on the block?
