Mass on a Spring: A 3.7-kg block on a horizontal frictionless surface is attached to an ideal spring whose force constant (spring constant) is 450 N/m. The block is pulled from its equilibrium position at x = 0.000 m to a position x = +0.080 m and is released from rest. The block then executes simple harmonic motion along the horizontal x-axis. The maximum elastic potential energy of the system is closest to
A. 1.4 J. B. 1.3 J. C. 1.6 J. D. 1.7 J. E. 1.8 J.
