Questions 2-5 reference the picture of mass attached to a spring shown. The left most 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 right most 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. 100 g BA A 100 g 100 g C At what point will the system have the largest total energy? O A В C All points will have the same amount of total energy.

You want to create a pendulum clock (here on Earth) that will take 0.5 seconds to swing from one side to the other (which means it takes 1 second to go back and forth). How long should the pendulum be? O 1m O It depends on the mass of the pendulum bob О 25 ст 9.8 m 6 ст O It depends on the mass of the pendulum bob and the spring constant О 50 сm Continuing from the previous problem: You travel to Mars (where gravitational acceleration is 3.7 m/s-) and want to keep using your pendulum clock there (again, taking 0.5 seconds to swing from one side to the other). What adjustments do you need to make? O No adjustments are needed - the pendulum clock will still work properly on Mars. It's impossible nothing you do can get this pendulum clock to work on Mars Increase the mass of the pendulum bob O Make the string shorter Make the string longer O Decrease the mass of the pendulum bob O O O

A mass of 0.3 kg hangs motionless from a vertical spring whose length is 0.75 m and whose unstretched length is 0.55 m. Next the mass is pulled down to where the spring has a length of 1.05 m and given an initial speed upwards of 1.7 m/s. What is the maximum length of the spring during the motion that follows? maximum length= Hint: the conceptually-simplest approach is to track the changes in kinetic, spring-potential, and gravitational-potential energies; the mathematically-simplest approach is to observe that the sole effect of gravitation is to lower the spring's equilibrium position, then track just the kinetic and spring-potential (relative to the lower equilibrium) energies.
