Question: A frictionless mass-spring system oscillates back and forth with a maximum displacement 2.0m from the equilibrium position. If the spring in this system has a spring constant of k=10 N/m, what is the kinetic energy of the system when the displacement of the mass is 1.0m from the equilibrium position? a. OJ b. 5J 10J d. 15J e. 20J C.

I think that the answer is 15 j; 20 j for max spring less 5 j for amount it was pulled.  I want to be sure though.  If I am wrong, please tell me correct answer and how you got it.

 

Thanks
