1. In the diagram to the right, a block is
attached to a Hookean spring. The spring
is neither stretched nor compressed at
position C. Assume that frictional effects
are negligible. The velocity vs. time
graph below represents the motion of the O-
block as it oscillates between positions A
and E. Fill in the boxes with the correct
0
positions corresponding to the graph shown. On the axes indicated, sketch the corresponding
position, acceleration, force, kinetic energy, elastic energy, and total energy vs. time graphs.
