Question

A 0.05kg mass is attached to a spring with a spring constantof 159N/m so that the mass is allowed to move on a horizontalfrictionless surface. The mass is released from rest when thespring is compressed 0.15m. a) find the force on the mass at the instant the spring isreleased. Answer in units of m/s2 . part 2 b) find the acceleration of the mass at the instant the springis released. answer in units of m/s2 .

Explanation / Answer

Data : m= 0.05kg           k =159N/m           x=0.15m         We know that the force (F) = kx When the spring is released then                              ma =kx                                   a =kx/m Substitute the above values to get the answers
