(8\%) Problem 7: The restoring force in a Hooke's Law spring is a conservative force, and hence, the work done by that force is represented by a potentialenergy function. Consider a spring with spring constant k. One end of the spring is fixed at the origin of the coordinate system, and the other is attached to an oscillating block with mass m. The diagram below shows the potential energy function for the spring and the total mechanical energy of the system.
xeq?=cm Hints: deduction per hint. Hints remaining: 2 Feedback: deduction per feedback. @ 25% Part (b) What is the position, in centimeters, of one of the turning points of the spring-mass system. @ 25% Part (c) What is the value, in newtons per meter, of the spring constant? ?25% Part (d) What is the maximum speed, in meter per second, of the block if its mass is m=470 g?
