SUMMARY
The velocity of an object undergoing simple harmonic motion (SHM) at time t=0.10s is calculated using the formula v=A*√(K/m)*cos(√(K/m)*t). Given the parameters: mass (m) of 36.0g, spring constant (k) of 400g/s², and maximum displacement (A) of 5.0 cm, the velocity can be determined by substituting these values into the equation. This results in a definitive calculation of the object's velocity at the specified time.
