    Solutions and explanations would be greatly greatly appreciated (I can't think straight right now >.>) [B]A 509 g mass oscillates with an amplitude of 10.0 cm on a spring whose spring constant is 25.0 N/m. Determine the period. seconds Determine the maximum speed. m/s Determine the total energy. J[/B] ~~~~ [B]The position of a 46g oscillating mass is given by x(t)= (2.3cm) cos10t , where t is in seconds. Determine the period. seconds Determine the spring constant. N/m Determine the maximum speed. m/s Determine the total energy J Determine the velocity at t = 3.6×10^−2s . m/s[/B] Thanks again...

    Yeah really the best way to do it is to understand how to derive those formulas, I don't just memorize that shit, it doesn't make sense to memorize every formula for every case, it's much easier to just take 30 seconds to figure it out than try to remember them all EDIT: or you could just look them up on wikipedia lol, either way
