Pre-Lab Questions Complete the following questions prior to your lab. You will submit a printed copy of your solutions at the start of your lab session. Late submissions will not be accepted. Note: Pre-lab questions are to be submitted individually. A mass, M. on a frictionless table is attached (horizontally) to an elastic which is attached to a string. Now suppose you hold the other end of that string in a fixed position, and allow the mass to freely travel at a constant velocity u in the direction opposite the string (and spring). The string is sufficiently long that it is untaught at the beginning of this scenario. Answer the following: 1.) Describe what happens to the mass as it moves away from your hand (which is holding the string). A series of diagrams might help visualize what will happen. Hint: think about how a rubber bank behaves when it gets stretched, and unstretched. [2 Marks 2. ) Sketch (and label) the force acting on the mass as a function of time in this sce- nario. Hint: This implies that the force acting on the mass is not constant throughout the whole scenario. [2 Marks] Page 2 of 9
