A 020-Kg Block Rests on a Frictionless Level Surface and Is

question 44

Multiple Choice

A 0.20-kg block rests on a frictionless level surface and is attached to a horizontally aligned spring with a spring constant of 40 N/m.The block is initially displaced 4.0 cm from the equilibrium point and then released to set up a simple harmonic motion.A frictional force of 0.3 N exists between the block and surface.What is the speed of the block when it passes through the equilibrium point after being released from the 4.0-cm displacement point?

• C)0.80 m/s
• D)1.2 m/s
