Set 8 Problem 3 An object undergoing simple harmonic motion is observed to be moving at a speed 0.59 m/s when it is 0.16 In from its equilibrium position. If the effective elastic constant is k = 291 N/m and the effective mass is 2.2 kg, what is the amplitude of the oscillator? a. Find the amplitude A of the motion. Use the fact that energy is conserved. Recall that the energy stored in a spring stretched a distance x is given by 1/2 k x2 and kinetic energy is given by 1/2 m v2, where m is mass and V is velocity. 11. What is the maximum velocity attained by the oscillator? m Reset All
