Question 1

A mass attached to a spring oscillates with an amplitude of 0.4 m and a mass of 1.5 kg. If the spring constant is 300 N/m, calculate the total energy.

💡 Hint: Substitute values into the total energy formula shown in class.

Question 2

Explain how the kinetic and potential energy transform as a mass drops from its maximum height to the equilibrium position in a mass-spring system.

💡 Hint: Think about how the energy transitions during the swing.
