Answer

The velocity at $~~t = 0~~$ is $~~3.06~m/s$

Work Step by Step

We can find $\omega$: $\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$ $\omega = \sqrt{\frac{100~N/m}{2.00~kg}}$ $\omega = 7.07~rad/s$ We can express the position and velocity of the block: $x = A~cos(\omega~t+\phi)$ $v = -A~\omega~sin(\omega~t+\phi)$ Then, at $t = 1.00~s$: $x = A~cos(7.07+\phi) = 0.129$ $v = -7.07~A~sin(7.07+\phi) = 3.415$ We can divide the second equation by the first equation to find $\phi$: $\frac{v}{x} = -7.07~tan(7.07+\phi) = 26.47$ $tan(7.07+\phi) = -\frac{26.47}{7.07}$ $7.07+\phi = tan^{-1}~(-\frac{26.47}{7.07})$ $7.07+\phi = -1.31$ $\phi = -1.31-7.07$ $\phi = -8.38$ We can find $A$: $x = A~cos(7.07+\phi) = 0.129$ $A~cos(7.07-8.38) = 0.129$ $A = \frac{0.129}{cos(-1.31)}$ $A = 0.50~m$ We can find the velocity at $t = 0$: $v = -7.07~A~sin(7.07~t+\phi)$ $v = (-7.07)(0.50~m)~sin[(0+(-8.38)]$ $v = 3.06~m/s$ The velocity at $~~t = 0~~$ is $~~3.06~m/s$
