A mass is pressed against (but is not attached to) an ideal horizontal spring on a frictionless horizontal surface. After being released from rest, the mass acquires a maximum speed v and a maximum kinetic energy K
If instead the mass initially compresses the spring twice as far:
A) Its maximum speed will be 2v and its maximum kinetic energy will be 2K.
B) Its maximum speed will be 2v and its maximum kinetic energy will be K.
C) Its maximum speed will be v and its maximum kinetic energy will be 2K.
D) Its maximum speed will be 2v and its maximum kinetic energy will be 4K.
E) Its maximum speed will be 4v and its maximum kinetic energy will be 2K.

We find that N current loops are coplanar and coaxial. The first has radius a and current I. The second has radius 2a and current 2I, and the pattern is repeated up to the Nth, which has radius Na and current NI. The current in each loop is counterclockwise as seen from above. The magnitude of the magnetic field at the center of the loops is
