A 0.20-kg mass is oscillating on a spring over a horizontal frictionless surface. When it is at a displacement of 2.6 cm for equilibrium it has a kinetic energy of 1.4 J and a spring potential energy of 2.2 J. What is the maximum speed of the mass during its oscillation?

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

                    mass = 0.20 kg

              displacement = 2.6 cm

              Kinetic energy = 1.4 J

       Spring potential energy = 2.2 J

Now, we will calculate the total energy present present as follows.

         Total energy = Kinetic energy + spring potential energy

                           = 1.4 J + 2.2 J

                            = 3.6 Joules

As maximum kinetic energy of the object will be equal to the total energy.

So,      K.E = Total energy

                = 3.6 J

Also, we know that

                  K.E =

or,                   v =

                        =

                        =

                        = 6 m/s

thus, we can conclude that maximum speed of the mass during its oscillation is 6 m/s.

it may be wrong but i think its a

this is a good question! i'll do some research and come back when i have the answer!
