F)
Let us find amplitude A,
Emax = KEmax
1/2kA^2=1/2*m*Vmax^2
½*0.968*A^2=1/2*0.155*0.42^2
A=0.168m
By Newton’s law
Fnet ma
-kA=ma
a=-kA/m
a=-0.968*0.168/0.155
a=-1.05 m/s^2
G)
Emax = KEmax
Emax =1/2*m*Vmax^2
Emax =1/2*0.155*0.42^2
Emax = 0.0137 J
H)
Let us find velocity vf at t=0.800s
vf=vi+at
vf= -35-1.05*0.800 = -35.84 m/s
By law of conservation of energy
Emax=1/2*k*xf^2+1/2*m*vf^2
Plugging values,
0.0137 = ½*0.968*xf^2+1/2*0.155*35.84^2
xf= 14.3 m
