A 0.25 kg0.25\,\text{kg} oscillator has amplitude 5.0 cm5.0\,\text{cm}. Its speed is 0.60 m s−10.60\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-1} when its displacement is 3.0 cm3.0\,\text{cm} and it is moving toward equilibrium. Find its speed when the displacement is 4.0 cm4.0\,\text{cm} while moving away from equilibrium. (a) 0.75 m s−10.75\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-1} (b) 1.0 m s−11.0\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-1} (c) 0.45 m s−10.45\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-1} (d) 0.36 m s−10.36\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-1}
