Answer:

a)  [tex]k=19.6N/m[/tex]

b)  [tex]V_m=0.81m/s[/tex]

c)  [tex]a_m=6.561m/s^2[/tex]

d)  [tex]K.E=0.096J[/tex]

e)  [tex]T=0.78sec[/tex] &[tex]F=1.29sec[/tex]

f)   [tex]mx'' + kx' =0[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Stretch Length [tex]L=0.150m[/tex]

Mass [tex]m=0.30kg[/tex]

Total stretch length[tex]L_t=0.150+0.100=>0.25[/tex]

a)

Generally the equation for Force F on the spring is mathematically given by

[tex]F=-km\\\\k=F/m\\\\k=\frac{m*g}{x}\\\\k=\frac{0.30*9.8}{0.15}[/tex]

[tex]k=19.6N/m[/tex]

b)Generally the equation for Max Velocity of Mass on the spring is mathematically given by

[tex]V_m=A\omega[/tex]

Where

A=Amplitude

[tex]A=0.100m[/tex]

And

[tex]\omega=angulat Velocity\\\\\omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}\\\\\omega=\sqrt{\frac{19.6}{0.3}}\\\\\omega=8.1rad/s[/tex]

Therefore

[tex]V_m=A\omega\\\\V_m=8.1*0.1[/tex]

[tex]V_m=0.81m/s[/tex]

c)

Generally the equation for Max Acceleration of Mass on the spring is mathematically given by

[tex]a_m=\omega^2A[/tex]

[tex]a_m=8.1^2*0.1[/tex]

[tex]a_m=6.561m/s^2[/tex]

d)

Generally the equation for Total mechanical energy of Mass on the spring is mathematically given by

[tex]K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex]

[tex]K.E=\frac{1}{2}*0.3*0.8^2[/tex]

[tex]K.E=0.096J[/tex]

e)

Generally the equation for  the period T is mathematically given by

[tex]\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}[/tex]

[tex]T=\frac{2*3.142}{8.1}[/tex]

[tex]T=0.78sec[/tex]

Generally the equation for  the Frequency is mathematically given by

[tex]F=\frac{1}{T}[/tex]

[tex]F=1.29sec[/tex]

f)

Generally the Equation of time-dependent vertical position of the mass is mathematically given by

[tex]mx'' + kx' =0[/tex]

Where

'= signify order of differentiation
