An object with mass 3.5 kg is attached to a spring with spring stiffness constant k = 300 N/m and is executing simple harmonic motion. When the object is 0.020 m from its equilibrium position, it is moving with a speed of 0.55 m/s.
b) Calculate the maximum velocity attained by the object. [Hint: Use conservation of energy.]
so if i use E= 1/2mv^2=1/2KX^2
then-->.5(3.5 kg)(.55) ^2= 1.5(300 N/m)(.200) ^2
but what does that prove ? I don't think this is right
