Problem

A 0.50 kg0.50\,\text{kg} cart is attached to a horizontal spring with spring constant 200 N ⁣⋅ ⁣m−1200\,\text{N}\!\cdot\!\text{m}^{-1} and oscillates with amplitude 0.10 m0.10\,\text{m}. What is the speed of the cart when it is 0.060 m0.060\,\text{m} from equilibrium? (a) 2.3 m ⁣⋅ ⁣s−12.3\,\text{m}\!\cdot\!\text{s}^{-1} (b) 1.6 m ⁣⋅ ⁣s−11.6\,\text{m}\!\cdot\!\text{s}^{-1} (c) 0.80 m ⁣⋅ ⁣s−10.80\,\text{m}\!\cdot\!\text{s}^{-1} (d) 1.3 m ⁣⋅ ⁣s−11.3\,\text{m}\!\cdot\!\text{s}^{-1}
