Question
A 0.13 kg mass is connected to a spring of stiffness 366 N/m.  The mass is pulled back 0.26 m from equilibrium and released from rest. (Hint: Which trig function will result in an x(t) that begins at rest?)  Calculate the kinetic energy of the mass 3 s into the motion, in J.  Your calculator should be in radians mode for this question.

(Please answer to the fourth decimal place - i.e 14.3225)
