Question: An object in simple harmonic motion ( horizontal ) has a mass of 2 . 7 kg and is attached to a spring with k

An object in simple harmonic motion (horizontal) has a mass of 2.7 kg and is attached to a spring with k=756Nm. When the object is 23 cm from equilibrium, it is moving at 3.7ms. Determine the,
a. Amplitude, in cm. Ans. 32 cm
b. Period, in ms. Ans. 375 ms
c. Maximum speed. Ans. 5.33ms
d. Total energy of the system. Ans. 38.5 J
e. Functional form: x(t)=Acos(t+), assuming the object starting from equilibrium moving in the +x direction.
Ans. x(t)=(32c'n)cos([16.7rad(s)]t-2)
f. Position and direction of motion at t=618ms. Ans. -25 cm , moving left (in the negative direction)
