Question

A 2.6-kg cart is attached to a horizontal spring for which the spring constant is 60 N/m . The system is set in motion when the cart is 0.27 mfrom its equilibrium position, and the initial velocity is 2.6 m/s directed away from the equilibrium position.

Part C

How would the answers to parts A and B change if the initial direction of motion were toward the cart's equilibrium position?

How would the answers to parts A and B change if the initial direction of motion were toward the cart's equilibrium position?

The answers would not change.

The speed in equilibrium position would change, the amplitude would not change. Both the answers would change. The amplitude would change, the speed in equilibrium position would not change.

The answers would not change.

Explanation / Answer

If the direction of motion is changed, it will not affect amplitude and speed as they are independent of the direction,
