QUESTION:
A mass is oscillating with amplitude A at the end of a spring. How far (in terms of A) is this mass from the equilibrium position of the spring when the elastic potential energy equals the kinetic energy?
ANSWER:Solution 33E Introduction We have to calculate the distance from the equilibrium position at which the elastic potential energy will be equal to the kinetic energy. Step 1 The total mechanical energy of the system is equal to the maximum elastic energy of the spring. Now the maximum
