Energy of a Block on a Spring
Given that when a particular block of 25 grams oscillates with a maximum displacement
of 12 cm from the equilibrium point, determine both the total energy for the system and
the block’s velocity at 4 cm. above the equilibrium point.
Hint: Think about the block’s kinetic energy at 12 cm, and what the total energy must be
a combination of.
