A 1.00 kg block is attached to a spring with spring constant 14 N/m. While the block is sitting at rest, a student hits it with a hammer and almost instantaneously gives it a speed of 31 cm/s. What is the amplitude of the subsequent oscillations?What is the block's speed at the point where x= 0.40 A?

1 answer

What is the amplitude of the subsequent oscillations?

A=√{mv^2/k}
√{1.00*(31^2)/14}
A=8.285098499cm
