Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A mass-spring system has a spring constant of 300 N/m and a mass of 3 kg. If the system is displaced 0.5 m, what is the maximum potential energy stored?

💡 Hint: Use the potential energy formula.

Challenge 2 Hard

Design an experiment to measure the period of a mass-spring system. What variables would you control, and what would you measure?

💡 Hint: Think about ensuring the same conditions for each measurement!
