An air track glider is attached to a spring. It is pulled back to position A and released from rest. It vibrates back and forth between positions A and E. Position C is the equilibrium position. A portion of a plot of its velocity as a function of time is shown. A positive velocity represents the glider moving to the right; a negative velocity represents a leftward motion.

Graphical Analysis

Consider the red-shaded section. This section represents the air track glider moving from position …
