A simple pendulum is set into motion at two different times with different initial conditions. The first time: the bob is in its equilibrium position and is given an initial velocity +2 m/s. The maximum height reached by the bob is h1,max and the period of motion is T1. The second time: the bob is in its equilibrium positlon and is given an initial velocity +6 m/s. The maximum height reached by the bob is h2,max and the period of motion is T2. Assume that the motion is simple harmonic, which of the following is true?

A block of mass m = 249 grams oscillates to the left and right with negligible friction on the end of an ideal spring with a spring constant of 117 N/m. At the time t = O, the block is a distance 0.145 m to the right of the equilibrium position and it is moving to the right with a speed of 3.1 ms. What is the velocity of the block (in units of meters per second) at the time when t = 0.129 seconds? The sign (positive or negative) of your answer is important. For the purposes of this question, velocity pointing to the right is positive and a velocity to the left is negative.

A block with a mass of 0.300 kg is connected to a spring, displaced in the positive direction a distance of 50.0 cm from equilibrium, and released from rest at t = 0.
