An object with mass 2.7 kg is executing simple harmonic motion, attached to a spring with spring constant k = 310 N/m. When the object is 0.020 m from its equilibrium position, it is moving with a speed of 0.55 m/s.

(b) Calculate the period 

(c) If the motion amplitude was 5.5 cm, then calculate the maximum speed attained by the object. 

The length of a simple pendulum is 0.86 m and the mass of the particle (the "bob") at the end of the cable is 0.25 kg. The pendulum is pulled away from its equilibrium position by an angle of 8.55° and released from rest. Assume that friction can be neglected and that the resulting oscillatory motion is simple harmonic motion.


(a) What is the angular frequency of the motion? rad/s

(b) Using the position of the bob at its lowest point as the reference level, determine the total mechanical energy of the pendulum as it swings back and forth. J

(c) What is the bob's speed as it passes through the lowest point of the swing? m/s

A block of unknown mass is attached to a spring with a spring constant of 6.50 N/m and undergoes simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 10.0 cm.
