Problem
A 0.20kg particle is attached to an ideal spring such that the restoring force acting on the particle is F=−5.0x, where F is in newtons and x in metres measured from the equilibrium position. The particle is pulled 0.10m from equilibrium and released from rest.
(a) Determine the angular frequency ω0 of the subsequent motion.
(b) Calculate the time period of the oscillation.
(c) Find the maximum speed attained by the particle during the motion.
