Your Question:
A block of mass m rests on a flat, frictionless surface and is attached to a spring with spring constant k. The
block is set into simple harmonic motion at time t = 0 s from a displacement zo from equilibrium and with
a velocity v. For this problem you may find handy: cos² 0 = +cos 20 and sin² 0 = 1/cos 20.
COS
a) What is the initial energy of the system? What is the angular frequency w?
