Question

Consider four different oscillating systems, indexed using i = 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 . Each system consists of a block of mass mi moving at speed vi on a frictionless surface while attached to an ideal, horizontally fixed spring with a force constant of ki . Let x denote the displacement of the block from its equilibrium position. Order the systems from largest total mechanical energy to smallest.
a. m1= 0.5KG k2=500 N/m amplitude A = 0.02 m
b. m2= 0.6KG k2=300 N/m v2= 1 m/s . when passing through equilibrium
c. m3= 1.2KG k3=400 N/m v3= 0.5 m/s . when passing through x= -0.01 m
d. m4= 2 KG k4=200 N/m v4= 0.2 m/s . when passing through x=-0.05 m
