Question

a) Think of a system where you attach a mass to spring and hang the system vertically. What is the force that is stretching out the spring? Write an equation for displacement (x) as a function of mass (m). If you plot a graph of x versus m, what combination of variables represents the slope? .................... b) You are taking this system, pulling the mass down and letting it go. The mass will oscillate with simple harmonic motion between -xm (the bottom), +xm (the top) and x=0 (the original rest position). ..................... With reference to the points +xm, -xm, and x=0. At what point(s) does the mass have the greatest speed? The least speed? Explain................................ **please help will vote lifesaver***!!!

Explanation / Answer

force that is stretching out the spring = wieght = m*g at x=0 it has more speed
