Question

10) What is the total energy of a 450-g mass that is attached to a horizontal spring with a force constant of 260 N/m and oscillates along a frictionless horizontal surface with amplitude of 8.0 cm

Answer 1

E = 1/2 * k x^2 is the energy stored in the spring

E = 1/2 * 260 N/m * .08^2 m = .832 Joules
