Problem
A 0.20kg object attached to a spring executes simple harmonic motion on a smooth horizontal table. Its maximum speed during the motion is 0.60ms−1 and its time period is 0.50s.
(i) Calculate the amplitude of oscillation.
(ii) Determine the force constant of the spring.
(iii) Find the magnitude of the displacement of the object when its speed is 0.48ms−1. Give both possible values.
