PRACTICE / Simple harmonic motion

Speed through equilibrium

An oscillator has amplitude 0.080 m and angular frequency 5 rad/s.

Find its maximum speed.

Organize the givens & assumptions
  • A = 0.080 m
  • ω = 5 rad/s

Ideal simple harmonic motion with stated displacement amplitude and angular frequency; no damping.

  1. A0 m s−10\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}
  2. B0.40 m s−10.40\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}
  3. C0.016 m s−10.016\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}
  4. D2 m s−12\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}
