2. Consider a 5kg block attached to a spring with stiffness of 10 N/m. The other end of the spring is attached to a wall. The block is pulled back 25cm and released. a. Determine the period and angular frequency of the block. b. Write the position function for the block. c. Determine the max speed of the block. Where in the block’s path does the max speed occur? d. Determine the max acceleration of the block. Where in the block’s path does the max acceleration occur? e. What is the total energy of the mass-spring system? f. Draw a graph like in figure 15.13 (just beneath Oscillations about an equilibrium position). Can you indicate where the system is most stable? Can you indicate where the system is least stable? What kind of properties does a stable point have? In other words, how can one measure stability on an energy graph?
