Please help solve for v in (m/s)

A particle with mass 2.59 kg oscillates horizontally at the end of a horizontal spring. A student measures an amplitude of
0.897 m and a duration of 127 s for 71 cycles of oscillation. Find the frequency, f, the speed at the equilibrium position, vmax,
the spring constant, k, the potential energy at an endpoint, Umax, the potential energy when the particle is located 45.1% of the
amplitude away from the equiliibrium position, U, and the kinetic energy, K, and the speed, v, at the same position.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Introduction:

The total energy of a spring block oscillator executing simple harmonic motion is

E =12kx2 + 12mv2

Maximum speed of the block is

vm= ωA

Speed of the block at a distance x from the equilibrium position is

v=ωA2-x2

Angular frequency is ω = km

Period of oscillation is T =2πω

Step 2

(given)

Mass of the particle (m) = 2.59 kg

Amplitude of the oscillation (A) = 0.897 m

n = 71 and t= 127 s

Frequency of oscillation = 0.559 Hz

Spring constant of the spring = 31.958 N/m

Maximum Potential energy  of the oscillator = U max  = 12.856 J

 

Angular frequency is

ω=2πf=km   = 2(3.14)(0.559)   =3.51 rad/s 

Instantaneous position of the particle is

x = 0.451× A

   = 0.451×0.897

   = 0.4045 m
