ooh x2, nice :)
I thought that the kinetic energy would be zero in both the initial and final states because just as the mass is released, it is motionless. Also, once the spring compresses as far as it will for the mass, it would also become motionless. So KE = 0 for both the initial and...
Hello! I'm a bit confused as to the relationship between the magnitude of Hooke's law (F=kx) and the magnitude of gravity versus the relationship between gravitational potential energy and spring potential energy for a vertical spring system. So, here is my problem. Imagine that you place a mass...
