An ideal spring hangs from the ceiling. A 1.25-kg mass is hung from the spring. After all vibrations have died away, the spring

is found to have stretched 0.0275 m from its original length. The mass is then pushed up 0.0735 m from its equilibrium position and released. What is the kinetic energy of the mass at the instant it passes back through its equilibrium position?

The kinetic energy of the mass at the instant it passes back through its equilibrium position is about 1.20 J

\texttt{ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Let's recall Elastic Potential Energy formula as follows:

\boxed{E_p = \frac{1}{2}k x^2}

where:

<em>Ep = elastic potential energy ( J )</em>

<em>k = spring constant ( N/m )</em>

<em>x = spring extension ( compression ) ( m )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem!

\texttt{ }

<u>Given:</u>

mass of object = m = 1.25 kg

initial extension = x = 0.0275 m

final extension = x' = 0.0735 - 0.0275 = 0.0460 m

<u>Asked:</u>

kinetic energy = Ek = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<em>Firstly , we will calculate the spring constant by using </em><em>Hooke's Law</em><em> as follows:</em>

F = k x

mg = k x

k = mg \div x

k = 1.25(9.8) \div 0.0275

k = 445 \frac{5}{11} \texttt{ N/m}

\texttt{ }

<em>Next , we will use </em><em>Conservation of Energy</em><em> formula to solve this problem:</em>

Ep_1 + Ek_1 = Ep_2 + Ek_2

\frac{1}{2}k (x')^2 + mgh + 0 = \frac{1}{2}k x^2 + Ek

Ek = \frac{1}{2}k (x')^2 + mgh - \frac{1}{2}k x^2

Ek = \frac{1}{2}k ( (x')^2 - x^2 ) + mgh

Ek = \frac{1}{2}(445 \frac{5}{11}) ( 0.0460^2 - 0.0275^2 ) + 1.25(9.8)(0.0735)

\boxed {Ek \approx 1.20 \texttt{ J}}

Answer:

KE= 1.20 J

Explanation:

Given that

m = 1.25 kg

x= 0.0275  m

A= 0.0735 m

F= K x = m g

k = mg/x

k=\dfrac{1.25\times 9.81}{0.0275 }\ N/m

k=445.9 N/m

This is the spring constant.

Kinetic energy of mass when it passes through equilibrium given as

KE=\dfrac{kA^2}{2}

By putting the values

KE=\dfrac{445.9\times 0.0735^2}{2}

KE= 1.20 J
