A3.7-kg block on a horizontal frictionless surface is attached to an ideal spring whose force constant (spring constant) is 450 n/m. the block is pulled from its equilibrium position at x = 0.000 m to a position x = +0.080 m and is released from rest. the block then executes simple harmonic motion along the horizontal x-axis. the maximum elastic potential energy of the system is closest to

Arock collection comes from which part of earth?

The image shows a pendulum in simple harmonic motion the pendulum starts at a and swing to e

Visualize the problem and identify special cases first examine the problem by drawing a picture and visualizing the motion. apply newton's 2nd law, ∑f⃗ =ma⃗ , to each body in your mind. don't worry about which quantities are given. think about the forces on each body: how are these consistent with the direction of the acceleration for that body? can you think of any special cases that you can solve quickly now and use to test your understanding later? one special case in this problem is if m2=0, in which case block 1 would simply fall freely under the acceleration of gravity: a⃗ 1=−gj^.
