### Physics Problem: Determining Maximum Speed of an Oscillating Object

**Problem Statement:**
10. An object of mass 0.55 kg is attached to a spring, with a spring constant 11.0 N/m. If the object is stretched 4.50 cm from the equilibrium position and released, what is its maximum speed?

[_____] m/s

### Explanation:

In this problem, we are dealing with an object undergoing simple harmonic motion. We need to determine the maximum speed of the object.

**Given:**
- Mass of the object, \( m = 0.55 \, \text{kg} \)
- Spring constant, \( k = 11.0 \, \text{N/m} \)
- Displacement from equilibrium, \( x = 4.50 \, \text{cm} = 0.045 \, \text{m} \)

**Concepts Involved:**
- Hooke's Law: \( F = -kx \)
- Conservation of Energy in Simple Harmonic Motion:
  \[
  \frac{1}{2} k x^2 = \frac{1}{2} m v_{\text{max}}^2
  \]
  Where:
  - \( v_{\text{max}} \) is the maximum speed of the object.

**Steps to Solve:**
1. Using the conservation of mechanical energy, set the potential energy at the maximum displacement equal to the kinetic energy at the equilibrium position.
   \[
   \frac{1}{2} k x^2 = \frac{1}{2} m v_{\text{max}}^2
   \]
   
2. Simplify and solve for \( v_{\text{max}} \):
   \[
   k x^2 = m v_{\text{max}}^2
   \]
   \[
   v_{\text{max}} = \sqrt{\frac{k x^2}{m}}
   \]
   
3. Substitute the given values into the equation:
   \[
   v_{\text{max}} = \sqrt{\frac{11.0 \times (0.045)^2}{0.55}}
   \]
   
4. Calculate the result:
   \[
   v_{\text{max}} = \sqrt{\frac{11.0 \times 0.002025}{0.55}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.
