A block of mass (3 kg) lays on a frictionless plane and is attached to a horizontal spring with a spring constant (8 N/m). The spring is attached to a nearby vertical wall. The minimum distance of the block from the wall during its oscillations is 0.8 m. The maximum distance of the block from the wall during its oscillations is 1.2 m. If we start a stopwatch (t = 0) when the block is at its closest point to the vertical wall, how far the block from the wall after a time t = 5/4 T? A=0.2 m V= 0.326 T= 0.383s
A partridge of mass 5.01 kg is suspended from a pear tree by an ideal spring of negligible mass. When the partridge is pulled down 0.100 m below its equilibrium position and released, it vibrates with a period of 4.21 s. What is its speed as it passes through the equilibrium position? What is its speed as it passes through the equilibrium position? When it is moving upward, how much time is required for it to move from a point 0.050 m below its equilibrium position to a point 0.050 m above it?
This, the length of the pendulum is 1.58 m. Now you start with the pendulum at 20.6 degrees with respect to the vertical, but rather than releasing it from rest, you give it a push downward. It swings to the other side, and reaches a maximum angle of 34.3 degrees with respect to the vertical. What must have been the initial speed of the pendulum just after you pushed it? 1.41 m/s 3.71 m/s 1.85 m/s 2.32 m/s
A spring hangs vertically from a ceiling. The spring constant of the spring is k=15 N/m. A 2kg object has been attached to the spring and the spring has already come to its new equilibrium. Someone pulls the object down by 5cm and releases it at time t = 0s. The spring and object begin to oscillate under simple harmonic motion. Find the total energy of the system, the maximum kinetic energy, the maximum potential energy, and the positions where the maximum energies occur. Answers: 0.01875 J, 0.01875 J

When a 20 N can is hung from the bottom of a vertical spring, it causes the spring to stretch 20 cm. (a) What is the spring constant? (b) This spring is now placed horizontally on a frictionless table. One end of it is held fixed, and the other end is attached to a 5.0 N can. The can is then moved (stretching the spring) and released from rest. What is the period of the resulting oscillation?
