A cube with a mass of 3.00 kg is placed on a smooth(negligible friction) horizontal surface and is connected to a spring with a stiffness of 500 N.m−1. The cube is horizontally displaced from its equilibrium position by 20.0 cm and given an initial velocity of magnitude 5.0 m.s−1 towards the equilibrium position. What is the frequency of the resulting oscillations? What is the amplitude of the oscillations? What is the maximum velocity of the cube?

Question

A cube with a mass of 3.00 kg is placed on a smooth(negligible friction) horizontal surface and is connected to a spring with a stiffness of 500 N.m−1. The cube is horizontally displaced from its equilibrium position by 20.0 cm and given an initial velocity of magnitude 5.0 m.s−1 towards the equilibrium position.

  1. What is the frequency of the resulting oscillations?
  2. What is the amplitude of the oscillations?
  3. What is the maximum velocity of the cube?
