Problem 4: A glider attached to a horizontal spring oscillates on a horizontal air track (no friction). The total mechanical energy of the oscillation is 4×10?3J, the amplitude of the oscillation is 0.0300m, and the maximum speed of the glider is 0.125m/s. a) What are the force constant of the spring and the mass of the glider? (use the energy method) (5 pts.) b) What is the maximum acceleration of the glider? ( 5 pts.) c) What is the magnitude of the glider's acceleration when the potential energy equals 3×10?3J ? (4 pts.)
