An object is suspended from the ceiling by a spring aligned along a vertical x axis, with upward defined as the positive x direction. When the spring is at its relaxed length, the object is at the origin of the axis. The object is pulled down to position −x1, held at rest, and released. Consider its motion from the instant of release until the instant it returns to −x1. Ignore friction, air drag, and the inertia of the spring.

part a

What force(s) is exerted on the object during the round trip, and in what direction(s)?

Check all that apply.

a, The spring force, directed downward.
b, The spring force, directed upward.
c, Gravitational force, directed downward.
d, Gravitational force, directed upward.
part b

How much work is done on the object by the spring as the object travels away from −x1 and back to−x1?

Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables x1, mass of the object m, and gravitational acceleration g.

Ascientist notices that an oil slick floating on water when viewed from above has many different colors reflecting off the surface, making it look rainbow-like (an effect known as iridescence). she aims a spectrometer at a particular spot and measures the wavelength to be 750 nm (in air). the index of refraction of water is 1.3
