Q15. Figure 1 shows a spring loaded with a mass of (15 kg. When the mass is displaced vertically it oscillates up and down. A and C show the extreme positions of the mass and B is its equilibrium position Figure 1 (a) The 0.15 kg mass extends the spring by 0.040 m. Calculate the elastic potential energy stored in the spring when it is extended by this amount. gravitational field strength, g -9.8 N kg. 0.15 kg mass Elastic potential energy = (b) @ Mark and label on the diagram the amplitude of the motion. (1) Describe the energy changes that occur during one cycle when the mass is pulled down to position and then released. You should consider the motion to be undamped during this cycle, (Total 5 marks)
