A 0.92 kg mass is attached to a light spring with a force constant of 30.9 N/m and set into oscillation on a horizontal friction-less surface. If the spring is stretched 5.0 cm and released from rest, determine the following.
(a) maximum speed of the oscillating mass? in m/s ?
(b) speed of the oscillating mass when the spring is compressed 1.5
cm? in m/s ?
(c) speed of the oscillating mass as it passes the point 1.5 cm
from the equilibrium position? in m/s ?
(d) value of x at which the speed of the oscillating mass
is equal to one-half the maximum value? in m?
