Please wait for the animation to completely load.
A 500-gram red ball on an air track is attached to a compressed spring (at x = 0 m the spring is unstretched) as shown in the animation (position is given in meters and time is given in seconds). Determine the spring constant of the spring (assume v = 0 m/s at the beginning and end of the animation). Restart.
