The document discusses simple harmonic motion using a slingshot as an example. It provides information about a boy pulling back the rubber band of his slingshot 25 cm before releasing a pebble. The slingshot has a spring constant of 250 N/m. It then asks two questions: 1) what is the energy of the pulled back rubber band, and 2) if the slingshot mass is 10g, what is the speed of the pebble as it leaves the rubber band. The answers are then provided: 1) the energy is 7.8 J, and 2) the speed is 39.5 m/s. Visualizations and equations are shown to explain the workings.
