    What Is the Speed of an Object Released from a Spring?

    So it has maximum velolcity at the equilibrium so just plug in "0" instead of .05 and i get 2.7 m/s, this sounds reasonable. Is this correct?

    What Is the Speed of an Object Released from a Spring?

    ok so v = sqrt(80n/m/.25kg)*(.15^2-.05^2) = 2.5 m/s and it would be that same for -.05 because -.05^2 = .05^2. But how would u find the maximum speed and where is it occurring?

    Troubleshooting Solving for m in the T=2*pi*sqrt(m/k) Equation

    (T^2)/2*pi*k = m doesn't work (T/2*pi)^2*k = m doesn't work either
