Homework Statement
I have a spring on a horizontal flat frictionless surface. If I push it at its max at x = -x_max and releases it, will it stop at the equilbrium point and go back to x = -x_max or will it go beyond the x = 0 and go to x = x_max?
I know that if i have an object attched to the spring (but not becoming one with the spring) it will stop at x = 0 and releases it, but will it go back and forth between -x_max and x_max if there is no object?
