A spring has an unstretched length of 10 cm. When a 150 g mass is added the spring stretches to a total length of 15 cm, where the mass rests at equilibrium.

A. What is the spring constant of the spring?

B. Now the mass is pulled down by an additional 5 cm, so that the total length of the spring is 20 cm, and then released. What is the frequency and period of the subsequent oscillation?

C. Draw a graph—including numbers on the position and time axes—that shows the subsequent motion of the spring about the equilibrium position described in part B. Distances above equilibrium are positive; distances below, negative. Show on your graph the amplitude and the period of this motion.

D. Where on your graph for part C is the speed the greatest? Where is the acceleration (magnitude) the greatest?

A spring of negligible mass stretches 3.00 cm from its relaxed length when a force of 7.10 N is applied. A 0.440-kg particle rests on a frictionless horizontal surface and is attached to the free end of the spring. The particle is displaced from the origin to x = 5.00 cm and released from rest at t = 0. (Assume that the direction of the initial displacement is positive. Use the exact values you enter to make later calculations.) (a)...

When a small mass of 120g is attached to a vertical spring, the spring stretches by 8.00cm where the small mass hangs at rest. The mass is then pulled down 3.00cm from its rest position and released so that the mass oscillates up and down. What maximum speed does the mass have during its oscillation? ANS: 33.2 cm/s
