A horizontal spring attached to a wall has a force constant of 850 N/m. A block of mass 1.00 kg is attached to the spring and oscillates freely on a horizontal, frictionless surface as in Figure 5.22.

Suppose you have a 0.750kg object on a horizontal surface connected to a spring that has a force constant of 150N/m. There is simple friction between me object and surface with a static coefficient of friction =0.100. (a) How far can the spring be stretched without moving the mass? (b) If the object is set into oscillation with an amplitude twice the distance found in part (a), and me kinetic coefficient of friction is k=0.0850, what total distance does it travel before stopping? Assume it starts at me maximum amplitude.
An object-spring system moving with simple harmonic motion has an amplitude A. (a) What is the total energy of the system in terms of k and A only? (b) Suppose at a certain instant the kinetic energy is twice the elastic potential energy.

(c) Using the results of parts (a) and (b) and the conservation of energy equation, find the positions x of the object when its kinetic energy equals twice the potential energy stored in the spring. (The answer should in terms of A only.)
