24. A 0.150 kg toy is undergoing SHM on the end of a horizontal spring with force constant 300.0
N/m. When the object is 0.0120 m from its equilibrium position, it is observed to have a speed of
0.300 m/s. Find (a) the total energy of the object at any point in its motion, (b) the amplitude of
the motion and (c) the maximum speed attained by the object during the motion.
Answer:
(a) E=1/2kx2+1/2mv2=0.02835 J
(b) E =1/2kA2 A=0.01375 m
(c) E =1/2mvm2 vm=0.6148 m/s
26. A 2.40 kg ball is attached to an unknown spring and allowed to oscillate. Figure 5.9 shows a
graph of the ball’s position x as a function of time t. For this motion, what are (a) the period, (b)
the frequency? (c) What is the force constant of the spring?
Answer:
(a) T=0.8 s
(b) f=1/T=1.25 Hz
(c) T=2 π √( m/k) k=148 N/m
