Update of an old problem, the OP didnt put it down fully

  • Thread starter Predator
  • Start date
In summary, the conversation is about a physics problem involving a block, an applied force, and a spring force. The different parts of the problem include determining the block's position, the work done on the block by the applied force and spring force, and the block's position and kinetic energy when its kinetic energy is at a maximum. The original poster has already solved parts A, B, and C, but is seeking help with parts D and E before the deadline. They have not received any responses on their thread and are feeling frustrated.

Homework Statement



https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=77424

It's that exact problem, except I need the latter parts to it.

(a) What is the position of the block?
m
(b) What is the work that has been done on the block by the applied force?
J
(c) What is the work that has been done on the block by the spring force?
J
During the block's displacement, find the following values.
(d) The block's position when its kinetic energy is maximum.
m
(e) The value of that maximum kinetic energy.
mJ

The Attempt at a Solution



I solved A by myself from Fx = 1/2kx^2. Solved for x.

Then for C, I did -1/2kx^2. And B = 1/2kx^2.

I need parts D and E. How would I go about solving them? I know that deltaK = Kf - Ki = W(applied force) + W(spring).
