The maximum energy of a vibrating mass is 3.00 x 10-2 joules. The amplitude of the oscillation is 2.50 mm with a frequency of 200 Hz. What is the mass of the object? What is the maximum acceleration of the object? If the mass affects the vibration frequency (like that of a mass and spring system), what should the mass be to double the maximum energy? Assume that the oscillation amplitude is not affected.
