Q. A 0.500 {rm kg} glider on an air track is attached to the end of an ideal spring with force constant 459 {rm N}/{rm m}; it undergoes simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 4.50×10-2 {rm m}.
Calculate the maximum speed of glider. (m/s)
work out the speed of the glider when it is at x = -1.50×10-2 m.
work out the magnitude of the maximum acceleration of glider.
Calculate the acceleration of glider at x = -1.50×10-2 m.
calculate the total mechanical energy of the glider at any point in its motion.
