Answer:
The object will likely start moving with a nonzero acceleration.
Answer:
According to our principle, when an object is slowing down, the acceleration is in the opposite direction as the velocity. Thus, this object has a negative acceleration. In Example D, the object is moving in the negative direction (i.e., has a negative velocity) and is speeding up.
Explanation:
Well the basic equation for velocity is v=d/t where d is distance and t is time. So v=2m/50s and the answer is v=0.04meter/second.
(a) 3.5 Hz
The angular frequency in a spring-mass system is given by

where
k is the spring constant
m is the mass
Here in this problem we have
k = 160 N/m
m = 0.340 kg
So the angular frequency is

And the frequency of the motion instead is given by:

(b) 0.021 m
The block is oscillating up and down together with the upper end of the spring. The block will lose contact with the spring when the direction of motion of the spring changes: this occurs when the spring is at maximum displacement, so at
x = A
where A is the amplitude of the motion.
The maximum displacement is given by Hook's law:

where
F is the force applied initially to the spring, so it is equal to the weight of the block:

k = 160 N/m is the spring constant
Solving for A, we find
