Work-Energy Theorem: a 4

question 86

Multiple Choice

Work-energy theorem: A 4.00-kg mass is attached to a very light ideal spring hanging vertically and hangs at rest in the equilibrium position. The spring constant of the spring is 1.00 N/cm. The mass is pulled downward 2.00 cm and released. What is the speed of the mass when it is 1.00 cm above the point from which it was released?

• A) 0.0443 m/s
• B) 0.0744 m/s
• C) 0.0201 m/s
• D) 0.0866 m/s
• E) The mass will not reach the height specified.
