Answer

(a) $3.2Hz$ (b) $7.1cm$ (c) $5J$

Work Step by Step

(a) We can find the required frequency as $f=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{K}{m}}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $f=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{2000}{5}}$ $\implies f=3.2Hz$ (b) We know that $v=\omega \sqrt{A^2-x^2}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $1=(20)\sqrt{A^2-(0.5)^2}$ This simplifies to: $A=7.1cm$ (c) We know that $T.E=\frac{1}{2}KA^2$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $T.E=\frac{1}{2}(2000)(7.1)^2$ $\implies T.E=5J$
