Question

An unstretched ideal spring hangs vertically from a fixed support. A 0.4 kg object is then attached to the lower end of the spring. The object is pulled down to a distance of 0.35 m below the unstretched position and released from rest at time t= 0. A graph of the subsequent vertical position y of the lower end of the spring as a function of t is given above, where y= 0 when the spring was initially unstretched. At which time is the upward velocity of the object the greatest?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer will be "0.25 sec".

Explanation:

The graph of the given question is attached below.

According to the graph of the question,

Time,

T = 1 sec

For the upward velocity,

⇒ $t = \frac{T}{4}$

By putting the value, we get

⇒    $=\frac{1}{4}$

⇒    $=0.25 \ sec$
