Asmall object is attached to the end of a relaxed, horizontal spring whose opposite end is fixed. the spring rests on a frictionless surface. let the initial position of the object be defined as x-0. the object is pulled to position x = a and then released, after which it undergoes simple harmonic motion. in one full cycle of its motion, the total distance traveled by the object is 2 4 o 4a

The total distance traveled by an object attached to a spring that is pulled to position x=A and then released is 4 A.

Explanation:

We have an small object attached to a relaxed spring whose opposite end is fixed. The spring rests on a frictionless surface. This means the only force acting on the object is the elastic  force of the spring, a conservative force, since the weight and the normal force compensate between them.

The initial position of the object is x=0 then is pulled to position x=A and released. After which it undergoes a simple harmonic motion with an amplitude A. From the position x=A to the equilibrium position in x=0 the object travels a distance A. From the equilibrium position x=0 to maximum negative position in x= -A the object travels again a distance A. Then to return to the original position the object should travel a distance 2 A in reverse direction.

In one full cycle of its motion the object travels a distance 4 A.

answer: the metamorphic rocks are formed when they are exposed to high pressure and high temperatures. this happens when one of the earth's plates comes in contact with the other plate by traveling in opposite directions, straight into each other or slipping under one another. the friction that is caused by this activity results in   melting of rocks and when it cools they are known as metamorphic rocks. this process needs a controlled amount of pressure and temperature otherwise it may turn into magma.
