When a 0.20-kg block is suspended from a vertically hanging spring, it stretchesthe spring from its original length of 0.040 m to 0.045 m. The same block is attachedto the same spring and placed on a horizontal, frictionless surface as shown. Theblock is then pulled so that the spring stretches to a total length of 0.15 m. Theblock is released at time t = 0s and undergoes simple harmonic motion.0.20 kg7. What is the frequency of the motion?A) 0.50 HzB) 1.0 HzC) 5.0 HzD) 7.0 HzE) 44 Hz8. Complete the following statement: In order to increase the frequency of themotion, one would have toA) reduce the spring constant.B) decrease the mass of the block on the end of the spring.C) increase the length of the spring.D) reduce the distance that the spring is initially stretched.E) increase the distance that the spring is initially stretched.

A 0.50 kg object rests on a frictionless horizontal surface, where it is attached to a massless spring whose k-value equals 25.0 N/m. Let x be the displacement, where x = 0 is the equilibrium position and x > 0 when the spring is stretched. The object is pushed, and the spring compressed, until xi = −4.00 cm. It then is released from rest and undergoes simple harmonic motion. How fast is the object moving (in m/s) when the spring is momentarily compressed by 1.30 cm (that is, when x = −1.30 cm)? How fast is the object moving (in m/s) whenever the spring is extended by 1.30 cm (that is, when passing through x = +1.30 cm)?
A mass is placed on a frictionless, horizontal table. A spring (k=115 N/mk=115 N/m), which can be stretched or compressed, is placed on the table. A 3-kg mass is anchored to the wall. The equilibrium position is marked at zero. A student moves the mass out to x=7.0 cmx=7.0 cm and releases it from rest. The mass oscillates in simple harmonic motion. Find the position, velocity, and acceleration of the mass at time t=3.00 st=3.00 s. x(t=3.00 s)=x(t=3.00 s)= Correct cm v(t=3.00 s)=v(t=3.00 s)= Incorrect cm/s
An 8.00-kg block is attached to one end of a horizontal spring on a level, frictionless surface. The other end of the spring is attached to a vertical support.

A horizontal spring is lying on a frictionless surface. One end of the spring is attaches to a wall while the other end is connected to a movable object.
