Problem

A block attached to an ideal horizontal spring oscillates along the

x

-axis. The positive

x

-direction is defined to the right, and the equilibrium position is at

x = 0

. When the block passes the point

x = +0.05\,\text{m}

moving toward the left, which of the following correctly lists the instantaneous directions of its displacement, velocity, and net spring force, respectively? a)

\text{Displacement: right};\ \text{Velocity: right};\ \text{Net force: left}

\text{Displacement: right};\ \text{Velocity: left};\ \text{Net force: left}

\text{Displacement: right};\ \text{Velocity: left};\ \text{Net force: right}

\text{Displacement: left};\ \text{Velocity: left};\ \text{Net force: right}
