Question: horizontal block - spring system with the block on a frictionless surface has total mechanical energy E = 4 4 . 1 J and a

horizontal block-spring system with the block on a frictionless surface has total mechanical energy E =44.1 J and a maximum displacement from equilibrium of 0.235 m.
(a) What is the spring constant?
N/m
(b) What is the kinetic energy of the system at the equilibrium point?
J
(c) If the maximum speed of the block is 3.45 m/s, what is its mass?
kg
(d) What is the speed of the block when its displacement is 0.160 m?
m/s
(e) Find the kinetic energy of the block at x =0.160 m.
J
(f) Find the potential energy stored in the spring when x =0.160 m.
J
(g) Suppose the same system is released from rest at x =0.235 m on a rough surface so that it loses 16.3 J by the time it reaches its first turning point (after passing equilibrium at x =0). What is its position at that instant?
m
