This is the position graph of a mass on a spring. What can you say about the velocity and the force at the instant indicated by the dotted line? 1. Velocity is positive; force is to the right. 2. Velocity is negative; force is to the left. 3. Velocity is negative; force is to the right. 4. Velocity is zero; force is to the right. 5. Velocity is zero; force is to the left.
