Figure 15.5 shows the \(x(t)\) curves for three experiments involving a particular spring–box system oscillating in SHM. Rank the curves according to (a) the system’s angular frequency, (b) the spring’s potential energy at time \(t = 0\), (c) the box’s kinetic energy at time \(t = 0\), (d) the box’s speed at time \(t = 0\), and (e) the box’s maximum kinetic energy, greatest first.
