force constant k = 200 N/m. The block is at rest at its equilibrium
position. An impulsive force acts on the block, giving it an initial
speed of 2.0 m/s. Find the amplitude of the resulting oscillations.Here’s How to Crack It
The block will come to rest when all of its initial kinetic energy has been
transformed into the spring’s potential energy. At this point, the block is at its
maximum displacement from equilibrium, that is, it’s at one of its amplitude
positions, and
