This problem states that a mass m is attatched to a spring with spring constant k and is pulled aside a distance A from its equilibrium position x=0.
a) what is the speed as it passes the position x=0?
I know that at A and -A v=0 and at x=0 v=max, but I can't remember how to get an equation for what that max is!
b)what is the net force on the mass at position x=A?
would this be F=-kA?
c)what is the speed when x=A/4?
i don't have any idea how to do this, but i think once i get part a i will understand
any help would be greatly appreciated!
