A mass is attached to a horizontal spring. The mass oscillates along a frictionless surface. When the mass reaches is at a position halfway between the equilibrium at amplitude positions, what can you say about the potential and kinetic energies in comparison to their maximums.
The KE and PE are at 1/4 of their maximums.
The KE and PE are at half their maximums.
The KE is at 3/4 of its max and the PE is at 1/4 of its max.
The KE is at 1/4 of its max, and the PE is at 3/4 of its max
Max PE = 0.5*K*A^2
This is total energy at any time.
At , x = A/2
PE = 0.5*K*(A/2)^2 = (0.5*K*A^2)/4 = 1/4 of maximum
Rest will be KE
So answer is:
The KE is at 3/4 of its max and the PE is at 1/4 of its max.

A mass of 9 kg is placed on a horizontal frictionless surface and attached to a spring. The mass is compressed 0.69 meters on the spring from equilibrium and held still. It is then released and it travels across the horizontal surface, around a frictionless quarter circular ramp, and it is launched into the air vertically and reaches a maximum height of 6 meters above the ground. The same mass is then attached to the same spring and hung vertically...
