A 3.00-kgkg object is free to slide on a horizontal surface. The object is attached to a spring of spring constant 300 N/mN/m , and the other end of the spring is attached to a wall. The object is pulled in the direction away from the wall until the spring is stretched 70.0 mmmm from its relaxed position. The object is not released from rest, but is instead given an initial velocity of 2.50 m/sm/s away from the wall. Ignore friction.

a) Determine the energy of the oscillating system.

b) Select the correct equation for the object's position xx as a function of time. Suppose that x=0x=0 is the equilibrium position and the direction away from the wall is the positive direction of xx.

If an object on a horizontal frictionless surface is attached to a spring, displaced, and then released, it oscillates. Suppose it is displaced 0.125 m from its equilibrium position and released with zero initial speed. After 0.860 s, its displacement is found to be 0.125 m on the opposite side and it has passed the equilibrium position once during this interval.Find the amplitude of the motion.=________________mFind the period of the motion.=________________sFind the frequency of the motion.=_________________Hz

A 2.20-kg object is attached to a spring and placed on frictionless, horizontal surface. A horizontal force of 18.0 N is required to hold the object at rest when it is pulled 0.200 m from its equilibrium position (the origin of the x axis). The object is now released from rest from this stretched position, and it subsequently undergoes simple harmonic oscillations. (a) Find the force constant of the spring. N/m (b) Find the frequency of the oscillations. Hz (c)...

A block of wood slides on a frictionless horizontal surface. It is attached to a spring and oscillates with a period of 0.8 s. A second block rests on top of the first. The coefficient of static friction between the two blocks is 0.25. If the amplitude of oscillations is 1.2 cm, will the block on the top slip? What is the greatest amplitude of oscillation for which the top block will not slip?
