Homework Statement
A 300g oscillator has a speed of 95.4 cm/s when its displacement is 3.0 cm and 71.4 cm/s when it displacement is 6.0 cm. What is the oscillator's maximum speed?
Homework Equations
x = Acos([tex]\omega[/tex]t + [tex]\phi[/tex])
v = -[tex]\omega[/tex]Asin([tex]\omega[/tex]t + [tex]\phi[/tex])
vmax = [tex]\omega[/tex]A
v = [tex]\omega[/tex](A^2 - x^2)^1/2
The Attempt at a Solution
I manipulated the fourth equation into
[tex]\omega[/tex]A or vmax = (v^2 + (x[tex]\omega[/tex])^2)^1/2
so if I get [tex]\omega[/tex] from somewhere else then I can use it to solve it for vmax but I can't see a way of doing that with the given info.
