| An 11.0 gram block attached to the right-end of a horizontal spring (on a frictionless surface) undergoes simple harmonic motion. The equation of motion of the block relative to the spring’s equilibrium position is given by,
|
| (A) |
What is the initial position and velocity of the block relative to the spring’s unstretched position? |
| (B) |
How long does it take the block to move from its initial position to a position where the spring is maximally compressed? |
| (C) |
What is the maximum force that the spring exerts on the block? |
| (D) |
How much work did it take to set the block in motion if the spring was initially unstretched? |
