Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A mass-spring system oscillates with a mass of 10 kg and a spring constant of 400 N/m. Calculate the total mechanical energy when the displacement is 0.4 m.

💡 Hint: Calculate PE first and remember energy is conserved.

Question 2

Consider a system where the kinetic energy at the equilibrium position is 50 Joules. If the maximum displacement occurs where potential energy is 70 Joules, calculate the total energy of the system.

💡 Hint: Total energy is the sum of both forms at any point in the oscillation.
