lock of mass m2 is attached to a spring of force constant k and m1 . m2. If the system is released from rest, and the spring is initially not stretched or com- pressed, find an expres- sion for the maximum displacement d of m2

The maximum displacement of the mass m₂

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy (K) = 1/2mv²

Potential Energy (P) = mgh

Law of Conservation of energy states that total energy of the system remains constant.

i.e; Total energy before collision = Total energy after collision

This implies that: the gravitational potential energy lost by m₁ must be equal to sum of gravitational energy gained by m₂ and the elastic potential energy stored in the spring.

d = maximum displacement of the mass m₂

jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, having a mass and radius that are respectively, 318 and 11.2 times that of earth. suppose that an object falls from rest near the surface of each planet and that the acceleration due to gravity remains constant during the fall. each object falls the same distance before striking the ground. determine the ratio of the time of fall on jupiter to that on earth.
