A block of mass m is undergoing SHM on a horizontal, frictionless surface while attached to a light, horizontal spring. The spring has force constant k, and the amplitude of the motion of the block is A. Part A The average speed is the total distance traveled by the block divided by the time it takes it to travel this distance. Calculate the average speed for one cycle of the SHM. Express your answer in terms of the variables m, A, and k. ΑΣφ 画] Vav Part B How does the average speed for ane cycle compare to the maximum speed "max? Express your answer to three significant figures. Unv %3D Umax Part C Is the average speed more or less than half the maximum speed? Based on your answer, does the block spend mare time while traveling at speeds greater than 1x/2 or less than t'max/2? The block spends more time traveling at speeds greater than U'max/2. O The block spends more time traveling at speeds less than "max/2. A block of mass m is undergoing SHM on a horizontal, frictionless surface while attached to a light, horizontal spring.
