(a) A hanging spring stretches by 32.0 cm when an object of mass480 g is hung on it at rest. We define its position as x = 0. Theobject is pulled down an additional 16.5 cm and released from restto oscillate without friction. What is its position x at a moment84.4 s later?
(b) Find the distance traveled by the vibrating object in part(a).
(c) Another hanging spring stretches by 32.5 cm when an object ofmass 470 g is hung on it at rest. We define this new position as x= 0. This object is also pulled down an additional 16.5 cm andreleased from rest to oscillate without friction. Find its positionx at a time 84.4 s later.
(d) Find the distance traveled by the vibrating object in part(c).
(e) Why are the answers to the parts (a) and (c) different by sucha large percentage when the data in parts (a) and (c) are sosimilar and the answers to parts (b) and (d) are relativelyclose?
Does this circumstance reveal a fundamental difficulty incalculating the future? Yes or No?
