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 mass m = 6.6 kg hangs on the end of a massless rope L = 2.04 m long. The pendulum is held horizontal and released from rest. Now a peg is placed 4/5 of the way down the pendulum’s path so that when the mass falls to its vertical position it hits and wraps around the peg. As it wraps around the peg and attains its maximum height it ends a distance of 3/5 L below its starting point (or 2/5 L from its lowest point). 1. How fast is the mass moving at the top of its new path (directly above the peg)? m/s 2) Using the original mass of m = 6.6 kg, what is the magnitude of the tension in the string at the top of the new path (directly above the peg)?

Use the identity to find the amplitude and the period of the ball’s motion.
