A cart of mass m is attached to a perfect spring and oscillates on a frictionless surface, as shown. The amplitude of the oscillation is given by x. The kinetic energy of the cart has a maximum value at(a) position A(b) position B(c) position C(d) positions A and C
Kinetic energy is the energy an object possess during motion. Therefore, the kinetic energy of the cart reaches it maximum kinetic energy as the cart passes through the equilibrium position. Therefore, the position is at C.
