Problem

A 0.50 kg0.50\,\text{kg} mass is attached to a spring with constant 200 N m−1200\,\text{N\,m}^{-1} and oscillates horizontally with amplitude 0.10 m0.10\,\text{m}. What is the speed of the mass when the elastic potential energy is 25%25\% of the total mechanical energy? a) 0.87 m s−10.87\,\text{m\,s}^{-1} b) 2.45 m s−12.45\,\text{m\,s}^{-1} c) 1.73 m s−11.73\,\text{m\,s}^{-1} d) 1.41 m s−11.41\,\text{m\,s}^{-1}
