17. Periodic Motion
Energy in Simple Harmonic Motion
5PRACTICE PROBLEM
A simple harmonic oscillator is made up of a 0.25 kg object attached to a spring with a force constant of 100 N/m. The object's maximum position, measured from the equilibrium position, is 5 cm. Calculate the object's speed when its position is -2 cm.
