An infant's toy has a 120 g wooden animal hanging from a spring. If pulled down gently, the animal oscillates up and down with a period of 0.44 s . His older sister pulls the spring a bit more than intended. She pulls the animal 26 cm below its equilibrium position, then lets go. The animal flies upward and detaches from the spring right at the animal's equilibrium position.If the animal does not hit anything on the way up, how far above its equilibrium position will it go?

An ideal spring is in equilibrium, hanging from a ceiling with a 1 kg mass at the end. At rest, the length of the hanging spring is 10 cm. Then, an additional 5 kg block is added to the spring, causing its length at rest to increase to 13 cm. The 5 kg block is then removed. Starting from rest, when the 5 kg block is removed, the spring begins to oscillate. What will the spring’s velocity be, the third...
