1. A small box with mass 0.5kg is attached to a spring (200 N/m) and oscillates left and right with no dissipative forces. At time t =0, the box is 25cm to the right of its equilibrium position and moving left with a speed of 3m/s.(a) What is the maximum distance to the right of its equilibrium position the box will reach? (b) What is the maximum speed the box will reach as it oscillates? (c) What is the period of the boxs oscillations? (d) What is the maximum magnitude of acceleration the box will experience? 2. A box (250g) attached to a spring begins at rest a distance of 30cm from its equilibrium position. It oscillates with a period of 1.25s. What is the maximum speed the box will reach as it oscillates? 3. One end of a small spring is attached to a wall, and a small mass is attached to the other end of the spring. The mass is pulled, stretching the spring 15cm from the equilibrium position, and it is released from rest. As the mass oscillates on the spring, it reaches a maximum speed of 1.85m/s. Assume theres no friction. (a) Starting the moment it is released, how long does it take for the mass to get to the point where the spring is compressed 15cm?(b) If we took the same spring and the same mass but stretched the spring to 30cm instead, how long would it take for the mass to get to the point where the spring is compressed 30cm?
