9702Energy in simple harmonic motion
A mass attached to the lower end of a spring bounces up and down. At which points in the path of the mass do the gravitational potential energy of the mass (GPE), the elastic potential energy in the spring (EPE) and the kinetic energy of the mass (KE) have their highest values?
- AGPE: bottom, EPE: middle, KE: top
- BGPE: bottom, EPE: top, KE: middle
- CGPE: top, EPE: bottom, KE: middle
- DGPE: top, EPE: bottom, KE: top
