Question

How do I solve this?

A0.500 kg mass is oscillating on a spring with k 330 N/m. The total energy of its oscillation is 3.24 J What is the maximum speed of the mass? (Unit m/s) Enter aoa9 Acellus Corporation. All Rights Reserved

Answer 1

here,

mass , m = 0.5 kg

let the maximum speed be v

the total energy of oscillation , TE = 3.24 J

0.5 * m * v^2 = 3.24

0.5 * 0.5 * v^2 = 3.24

solving for v

v = 3.6 m/s

the maximum speed is 3.6 m/s
