Question

A block is attached to the end of a horizontal ideal spring and rests on a frictionless surface. The block is pulled so that the spring stretches relative to its unstrained length. In each of the following three cases, the spring is stretched initially by the same amount. Rank the amplitudes of the resulting simple harmonic motion in decreasing order (largest first). (a) The block is released from rest. (b) The block is given an initial speed . (c) The block is given an initial speed .

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is "a, c and b"

Explanation:

• Its total block power is equal to the amount of potential energy and kinetic energy.
• Because the original block expansion in all situations will be the same, its potential power in all cases is the same.
• Because the block in the first case has no initial speed, the block has zero film energy.
• For both the second example, it also has the $v_o$ velocity, but the kinetic energy is higher among the three because its potential and kinetic energy are higher.
• While over the last case the kinetic speed is greater and lower than in the first case, the total energy is also higher than the first lower than that of the second.
• The greater the amplitude was its greater the total energy, therefore lower the second, during the first case the higher the amplitude.
