Re: elastic string question

by curious on 2009-03-26 11:02:43

OK I agree. I got the relation.
But what about when the particle oscillates back to the initial position? Elastic and gravitational potential energies are same as initial, but there is kinetic energy since the particle would be moving with a certain speed. From where did this kinetic energy come from?
