A 0.20 kg mass on a horizontal spring is pulled back a certain distance and released. The maximum speed of the mass is measured

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

b. 0.20 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

initial mass, m = 0.2 kg

maximum speed, v = 0.3 m/s

The total energy of the spring at the given maximum speed is calculated as;

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

K.E = 0.5 x 0.2 x 0.3²

K.E = 0.009 J

If the mass is changed to 0.4 kg

¹/₂mv² = K.E

mv² = 2K.E

$v = \sqrt{\frac{2K.E}{m} } \\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 0.009}{0.4} } \\\\v = 0.21 \ m/s\\\\v \approx 0.20 \ m/s$

Therefore, the maximum speed is 0.20 m/s
