Carbon tetrahydride is B. CH4
At the point of maximum displacement (a), the elastic potential energy of the spring is maximum:

while the kinetic energy is zero, because at the maximum displacement the mass is stationary, so its velocity is zero:

And the total energy of the system is

Viceversa, when the mass reaches the equilibrium position, the elastic potential energy is zero because the displacement x is zero:

while the mass is moving at speed v, and therefore the kinetic energy is

And the total energy is

For the law of conservation of energy, the total energy must be conserved, therefore

. So we can write

that we can solve to find an expression for v:
Answer:
Explanation:
a ) work done by gravitational force
= mg sinθ ( d + .21)
Potential energy stored in compressed spring
= 1/2 k x²
= .5 x 431 x ( .21 )²
= 9.5
According to conservation of energy
mg sinθ ( d + .21) = 9.5
3.2 x 9.8 x sin 30( d + .21 ) = 9.5
d = 40 cm
b )
As long as mg sin30 is greater than kx ( restoring force ) , there will be acceleration in the block.
mg sin30 = kx
3.2 x 9.8 x .5 = 431 x
x = 3.63 cm
When there is compression of 3.63 cm in the spring , block will have maximum velocity. there after its speed will start decreasing.
