2. A block with mass m = 10 kg is attached to a spring with constant k = 200 N/m and natural length L = 4 m. At its equilibrium position, the block is given a speed Vo = 5 m/s to the right. a. Draw a diagram of the problem, including all relevant variables and a coordinate system. b. Calculate the block's angular frequency and oscillation amplitude. C. Calculate the block's total energy at time t = 5 s. (Hint: you need not solve for kinetic and potential energies separately. Think carefully before you begin solving.) d. Write the velocity equation for the oscillator as a function of time, filling in all known variables. Leave velocity and time as variables.
