Answer

(a) $A = 0.0406~m$ (b) $v_{max} = 1.21~m/s$ (c) $\omega = 29.8~rad/s$

Work Step by Step

(a) We can find the total energy $E$. $E = \frac{1}{2}kx^2+\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ $E = \frac{1}{2}(155~N/m)(0.0300~m)^2+\frac{1}{2}(0.175~kg)(0.815~m/s)^2$ $E = 0.128~J$ We can find the amplitude. $\frac{1}{2}kA^2 = E$ $A = \sqrt{\frac{2E}{k}}$ $A = \sqrt{\frac{(2)(0.128~J)}{155~N/m}}$ $A = 0.0406~m$ (b) We can find the maximum speed. $\frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2 = E$ $v_{max} = \sqrt{\frac{2E}{m}}$ $v_{max} = \sqrt{\frac{(2)(0.128~J)}{0.175~kg}}$ $v_{max} = 1.21~m/s$ (c) We can find the angular frequency. $\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$ $\omega = \sqrt{\frac{155~N/m}{0.175~kg}}$ $\omega = 29.8~rad/s$
