A 0.60 kg block rests on a frictionless horizontal surface, where it is attached to a massless spring whose k-value equals 18.5 N/m. Let x be the displacement, where x = 0 is the equilibrium position and x > 0 when the spring is stretched. The block is pushed, and the spring compressed, until x, = -4.00 cm. It then is released from rest and undergoes simple harmonic motion.

For a simple harmonic oscillator with x=Asinωtx=Asin⁡ωt write down an expression for the velocity. Please use "*" for products (e.g. B*A), "/" for ratios (e.g. B/A) and the usual "+" and "-" signs as appropriate (without the quotes). For trigonometric functions use the usual sin and cos, while for Greek letters such as ωω, use omega.
