Answer

$K.E=1.2J$

Work Step by Step

The kinetic energy is given as: $K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ Also, $v=x_m\omega$ Combining these two equations, $K.E=\frac{1}{2}m{x_m}^2\omega^2$..........eq(1) We also know that, $\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}=\frac{2(3.1416)}{0.04}=157\frac{rad}{s}$ We plug in the known values in eq(1) to obtain; $K.E=\frac{1}{2}(0.020)(0.07)^2(157)^2=1.2J$
