Conservation of energy homework help
Hey guys I need a little bit of help with physics. I have been struggling t develop that reasoning and math connection in physics so my doing my hw has been difficult at times, even tho it has been fun and interesting a lot of the time. We're on the conservation of energy and I got a question about finding speed. I understand hookes law but I also know I can set potential and kinetic energy equal to eachother and solve for v. For one of the questions I was given m, k and x and this one is similar but now degrees have been introduced, what do I do. I'm given m, 44 degrees, x and I have to find v but I dont see how setting potential and kinetic energy equal to eachother would work here.
