100 gram mass is at rest on a frictionless air track glider. The length of the track is 2 meters and the mass is initially set at the midpoint. The mass is attached to a spring, k = 50 Newtons/meter, which is anchored to one end of the track. The mass is pulled back 0.75 meters and allowed to oscillate along the track.

Find the amount of work down in extending the spring 0.75 meters

What force was applied to the spring in order to extend it 0.75 meters?

After releasing the mass, find its maximum velocity.

At what point does the oscillating mass reach maximum velocity?
