Question
You attach a 1.70 kg block to a horizontal spring that is fixed at one end. You pull the block until the spring is stretched by 0.200 m and release it from rest. Assume the block slides on a horizontal surface with negligible friction. The block reaches a speed of zero again 0.200 s after release (for the first time after release). What is the maximum speed of the block (in m/s)

Answer:
maximum speed of the block is 3.14 m/s
Explanation:
given data
mass = 1.70 kg
stretch in the spring = 0.2 m
time take by block to come to zero t = 0.2 s
solution
we know that Time period of oscillation (T) that is express as
T = 2t ………………….1
put here value
T = 2 (0.2)
T = 0.4 s
so here time period is express as
T =
…………….2
here k is spring constant of the spring so put here value
0.4 =
here k will be
k = 419.02 N/m
so we use here conservation of energy that is
Maximum kinetic energy = Maximum spring potential energy …………3
(0.5) m v² = (0.5) k x²
here v is maximum speed block
so put here value and we get
(1.70) v² = (419.02) (0.2)²
v = 3.14 m/s
so maximum speed of the block is 3.14 m/s
