Problem
A particle performs simple harmonic motion with amplitude 4.0cm and angular frequency 5.0rads−1.
(a) For what magnitude of displacement from the equilibrium position will the kinetic energy be equal to the potential energy?
(b) Calculate the speed of the particle when it is at this displacement.
