Question
You exert a 138 N push the leftmost of two identical blocks of mass 244 g connected by a spring of stiffness 605 kg/s2. After pushing the block a distance 15 cm, you release it; by this time the rightmost block has moved a distance 5 cm. (a) What is the energy in the oscillations between the blocks

Answer:
the energy in the oscillations between the blocks is 3.025 J
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
Force f = 138 N
stiffness of spring k = 605 kg/s²
mass of block = 202 g = 0.202 kg
pushing the block a distance 15 cm, the rightmost block has moved a distance 5 cm
i.e
x₁ = 15 cm
x₂ = 5cm
the energy in the oscillations between the blocks will be;
E
= E
=
k( Δx )²
we substitute
=
× k( 15 – 5 )² × 10⁻⁴
=
× 605 × ( 10 )² × 10⁻⁴
=
× 605 × 100 × 10⁻⁴
= 3.025 J
Therefore, the energy in the oscillations between the blocks is 3.025 J
