**Spring-Mass System and Kinetic Energy Analysis****Description:**The image illustrates a spring-mass system with a mass of 100 g. The system's dynamics are described through three distinct positions labeled A, B, and C, representing the mass's movement as it oscillates.1. **Position A**: This is the point where the mass is traveling the fastest. It corresponds to the spring's relaxed (equilibrium) position.2. **Position B**: The highest point to which the mass is lifted. The system starts oscillating from this position.3. **Position C**: The lowest point the mass reaches during oscillation.**Analysis:**- **Kinetic Energy**: The kinetic energy of the mass is related to its speed. At point A, the mass will have the maximum kinetic energy since this is where it travels the fastest due to the conversion from potential energy to kinetic energy as it moves from point B through A to C.**Question:**At what point will the mass have the most kinetic energy?- ○ A- ○ B- ○ C- ○ All points will have the same amount of kinetic energy.**Correct Answer:**- ○ A**Explanation:**The greatest kinetic energy occurs when the mass moves through the equilibrium position, point A, due to maximum velocity when all potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.

Determine the conditions under which mechanical energy is conserved in a pendulum. Consider a situation in which a pendulum made from a wooden sphere. The mass of the pendulum is 100 g and the length 1 m. If it is hanging on the ceiling of a room, it is made to oscillate. What, if anything, is the mechanical energy of the pendulum conserved? Make the argument grounded in physics.

A spider can tell when its web has captured, say, a fly because the fly's thrashing causes the web threads to oscillate. A spider can even determine the size of the fly by the frequency of the oscillations. Assume that a fly oscillates on the capture thread on which it is caught like a block on a spring. What is the ratio of oscillation frequency for a fly with mass m to a fly with mass 2.5m?
A wheeled cart of mass M is attached to the wall by a spring of spring constant k, as illustrated. The cart is pulled to the left from its equilibrium position, stretching the spring, and then it is released. a) At what point is the magnitude of the acceleration of the cart at its maximum? When the cart is halfway back to its equilibrium position. When the cart arrives back at its equilibrium position. The instant after it is released. The acceleration is constant. b) The cart passes its equilibrium position and starts compressing the spring as it continues to move to the right. When it reaches its point of maximum compression of the spring and momentarily comes to rest, what is the direction of its acceleration?
