Randall D. Knight β Oscillations: Problem 18
A 2 kg block is attached to a spring with a spring constant of 20 N/m. While the block is sitting at rest, a student hits it with a hammer and it almost instantaneously speeds up to 60 cm/s. What is a. the amplitude of subsequent oscillations? b. the speed of the block at the point where \(x = \frac{1}{2} A\).
