Homework Statement
Alright, so we have a .5kg mass, a .08 amplitude oscillation, and a 130 N/m spring constant (k). The question wants to know what the velocity of this mass spring will be when it is at MAX.
Well, actually, it asks for the MOMENTUM of the system. The formula for that is P=mass x velocity; so we need to know the velocity in order to solve for the momentum.
Homework Equations
P=m x v
The Attempt at a Solution
Well, I thought I could use T=2pi (square root) mass/k; but, the period really wouldn't be relevant,would it? What is confusing me is the fact we have to find the maximum velocity given only k, mass, and the amplitude.
