Q.
A 5kg collar is attached to a spring of spring constant 500Nm−1 . It slides without friction over a horizontal rod. The collar is displaced from its equilibrium position by 10cm and released. The maximum speed is
The velocity of the collar executing SHM is given by v(t)=−Aωsin(ωt+ϕ)
The maximum speed is given by vm=Aω
Given, A=10cm=0.1m ω=mk vm=0.1×5500 vm=1ms−1
it occurs at x=0
