Physics

A block with mass 2 kg is attached to an ideal massless springand undergoes simple harmonic oscillations with a period of 0.50 s.The surface is frictionless. The amplitude of the oscillation is0.1 m.

(a) What is the spring constant of the spring?

(b) What is the total mechanical energy of the system (thespring and block system)?

(c) What is the maximum speed of the block? (d) What is thespeed of the block when the displacement of the block is 0.05 m (inother words, the distance between the block and the equilibriumposition is 0.05 m, or the block is half way between theequilibrium and the maximum displacement)?
