Use this simulation (Links to an external site.) of a ball attached to a spring to address the following questions. link : A ball on a spring (bu.edu) Notice underneath the graph you see a ball attached to a spring. For your initial post run the simulation with the following default parameters for the simulation: Spring constant (informs us of how stiff the spring is – higher constant means more stiffness) = 3 N/m and mass of the ball is 2 kg. The displayed graph should be Energy vs Time and then you will change it to Energy vs Position. The ball is always released 1 meter from the spring’s natural (unstretched length) by default. The blue line in the graph represents the spring and the red line in the graph represents the ball. Remember that you can press the pause button whenever necessary so that you can clearly see what is happening. Press the play button to start the simulation. You can use the Step buttons to move forward or backward incrementally so easily see what is happening during the simulation.Your Initial Post :Describe how the energy of the ball is changing with respect to time using the Energy vs Time graph. Be very specific about what is happening to the energy of the ball at 8 seconds, 20 seconds, and at 32 seconds. Provide the numerical value of the energy. Now switch your graph to Energy vs Position. What is the energy of the spring at maximum compression (identify the compressed length), at neither stretched nor compressed (identify the natural length), and maximum stretch (identify the stretched length). Now discuss the energy of the ball as a function of time and position. Discuss the energy of the spring as a function of time and position. What do you conclude about the energy of the ball with respect to the spring as a function of time and position?Your Reply Post ; ( i have to send classmate reply later, i can’t see their post unless i post mine first )Select a classmate’s post that does not have a reply and compare and contrast your answer to theirs. Correct any misconceptions or errors they made in their response. Next, return to the simulator, and using the Velocity vs Position graph explain to your classmate how the velocity of the ball changes with the position as a function of time and compare this to the energy of the ball and the spring for the same times you determined in your initial post.
