A 4.8-kg block attached to a spring executes simple harmonic motion on a frictionless horizontal surface. At time t=0 s, the block has a displacement of -0.50m, a velocity of -0.80m/s and an acceleration of +8.3m/s2 The force constant of the spring is closest to:. A) 62 N/m
B) 67 N/m
C) 56 N/m
D) 73 N/m
E) 80 N/m

E) 80 N/m

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the block, m = 4.8 kg

displacement of the block, x = -0.5 m

velocity of the block, v = -0.8 m/s

acceleration of the block, a = 8.3 m/s²

From Newton's second law of motion;

F = ma

Also, from Hook's law;

F = -Kx

where;

k is the force constant

Thus, ma = -kx

k = -ma/x

k = -(4.8 x 8.3) / (-0.5)

k = 79.7 N/m

k ≅ 80 N/m

Therefore, the force constant of the spring is closest to 80 N/m

the small 0.38-kg slider is known to move from position a to position b along the vertical-plane slot. determine (a) the work done on the body by its weight and (b) the work done on the body by the spring. the distance r = 0.70 m, the spring modulus k = 154 n/m, and the unstretched length of the spring is 0.53 m
