Question

In an experiment to determine the spring constant of an elastic cord of length 0.60 m, a student hangs the cord from a rod as represented above and then attaches a variety of weights to the cord. For each weight, the student allows the weight to hang in equilibrium and then measures the entire length of the cord. The data are recorded in the table in the image.

Given: 

  • spring constant = k = 25.86 N/m
  • mass = 0.679 kg

 

d. i. Calculate how far down the object has fallen at the moment it attains its maximum speed.
   ii. Explain why this is the point at which the object has its maximum speed.
  iii. Calculate the maximum speed of the object.

 

if required to only solve for one part of d, please solve for pt i (how far down the object is at max speed). thanks
