A 3-kg block, attached to a spring, executes simple harmonic motion according to x= 2cos(50t) where x is in meters and t is in seconds. The spring constant of the spring is: (a) 1 N/m (b) 100 N/m (c) 150 N/m (d) 7500 N/m (e) none of the above

The spring constant of the spring on which the block is attached is 7,500 N/m.

The given parameters;

The angular frequency is calculated as;

ωt = 50t

ω = 50 rad/s

The spring constant of the spring is calculated as follows;

Thus, the spring constant of the spring is 7,500 N/m.

Explanation:

w=50=√k/m=√k/3

SO

(50²)*3 is 7500N/m

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
