A mass is attached to a spring, which is fixed to a wall. The mass is pulled away from the spring's equilibrium point and is then released. At what point does the mass experience its maximum kinetic energy?
A mass is attached to a spring with a spring constant of . The mass is moved 2 m from the spring's equilibrium point. What is the total energy of the system?
A mass oscillates on a spring with period . If the mass is doubled, what is the new period of oscillation?
A 5.0 kg mass oscillates once. The total distance it travels is 1.5 m and it takes 4.0 s to travel that distance. What is its frequency of oscillation?
A mass is attached to the ceiling by a spring and hangs vertically downward. The mass is stretched downward so its amplitude is units from its equilibrium position. What is the distance the mass travels during one full oscillation?
