Q1. On a frictionless horizontal surface. The spring is compressed 4.0 cm and released from rest.
(a) Determine the maximum speed of the object.
1 m/s
(b) Determine the speed of the object when the spring is compressed 1.5 cm.
2 m/s
(c) Determine the speed of the object as it passes the point 1.5 cm from the equilibrium position.
3 m/s
(d) For what value of x does the speed equal one-half the maximum speed?
