A hanging block oscillating on the end of a spring passes through equilibrium at a speed of 2.0 m/s. It returns to equilibrium 0.75 s later. Calculate the total distance that it traveled between these two moments in its vibration. (Hint: How is the time related to the period? How is the distance traveled related to the amplitude?)

Explanation:

From the question,

velocity v = 2.0m/s

Time t = 0.75secs

Distance = ?

Velocity = distance / time

2.0 = d/0.75

Crossmultipy

d = 2.0 x 0.75

= 1.5m
