a) Total mechanical energy of the object-spring system = 0.198 J
b) Maximum speed of the oscillating object = 0.269 m/s
c) Maximum magnitude of acceleration of the oscillating object = 1.72 m/s2
What is acceleration?
Acceleration is the name we give to any process where the velocity changes. Since velocity is a speed and a direction, there are only two ways for you to accelerate: change your speed or change your direction—or change both.
Mass of the object = m = 5.5 kg
Force constant of the spring = k = 225 N/m
Amplitude of the motion = A = 4.2 cm = 0.042 m
Total mechanical energy of the object-spring system = E
Total mechanical energy is equal to the maximum potential the spring can store in this motion.
(a) [tex]$E=\frac{1}{2} \times 300 \times 0.037^2$[/tex]
