Homework Statement
A bloc of 0,2 kg is attached on a horizontal spring without any friction on the floor. The other side of the sprin gis attached to a wall. He does a movement of back and forth . Between the two extremities of the back and forth movement, the bloc has a displacement of 40 cm. The maximum speed of the bloc while he is oscillating is 0,5 m/s. What is the constant of the spring ?
Homework Equations
Kf=1/2*m*(vf)^2
The Attempt at a Solution
So we know that the maximum speed is 0,5 m/s. Then the kinetic energy is going to be kf= 1/2*0,2 kg* 0,5^2 = 0,025 J
Other than that, I'm not sure where to go. I know that my speed at the two extremities are going to be 0 m/s...
