A 2 kg, frictionless block is attached to a horizontal, ideal spring with spring constant 300 N/m. At t = 0 the spring is neither stretched nor compressed and the block is moving in the negative direction at 12 m/s. (a) Find the amplitude of this oscillation.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of block

M = 2kg

Spring constant k = 300N/m

Velocity v = 12m/s

At t = 0, the spring is neither stretched nor compressed. Then, it amplitude is zero at t=0

xo = 0

It velocity is 12m/s at t=0

Then, it initial velocity is

Vo = 12m/s

Then, amplitude is given as

A = √[xo + (Vo²/ω²)]

Where

xo is the initial amplitude =0

Vo is the initial velocity =12m/s

ω is the angular frequency and it can be determine using

ω = √(k/m)

Where

k is spring constant = 300N/m

m is the mass of object = 2kg

Then,

ω = √300/2 = √150

ω = 12.25 rad/s²

Then,

A = √[xo + (Vo²/ω²)]

A = √[0 + (12²/12.5²)]

A = √[0 + 0.96]

A = √0.96

A = 0.98m

a) cold, dry

explanation:

continental polar masses are cold and dry air masses because the cold air cannot hold much moisture. as they move into warmer air, they can trigger precipitation.
