A 0.50-kg mass is attached to a spring of spring constant 20 N/m along a horizontal, frictionless surface. The object oscillates in simple harmonic motion and has a speed of 1.5 m/s at the equilibrium position. At what location are the kinetic energy and the potential energy the same

Given :

A 0.50-kg mass is attached to a spring of spring constant 20 N/m along a horizontal, frictionless surface.

The object oscillates in simple harmonic motion and has a speed of 1.5 m/s at the equilibrium position.

To Find :

At what location are the kinetic energy and the potential energy the same.

Solution :

Let, at location x from the equilibrium position the kinetic energy and the potential energy the same.

So,

Hence, this is the required solution.

the answer is 12 as i may remember
