Answer

0.44 m/s

Work Step by Step

Please see the attached image first. Here we use the principle of conservation of energy to find the initial speed. $E_{kinetic}^{initial}+E_{potential}^{initial}=E_{kinetic}^{final}+E_{potential}^{final}$ So, we can write, $\frac{1}{2}mV^{2}+0+\frac{1}{2}kx_{1}^{2}=0+0+\frac{1}{2}kx_{2}^{2}$ $V^{2}=\frac{k}{m}x_{2}^{2}-\frac{k}{m}x_{1}^{2}=\frac{k}{m}(x_{2}^{2}-x_{1}^{2})-(1)$ From equation 10.11 $\omega=\sqrt {\frac{k}{m}}-(2)$ (2)=>(1), $V^{2}=\omega^{2}(x_{2}^{2}-x_{1}^{2})=>V=\omega\sqrt {(x_{2}^{2}-x_{1}^{2})}$ Let's plug known values into this equation. $V=7\space rad/s\sqrt {(0.08\space m)^{2}-(0.05\space m)^{2}}=0.44\space m/s$
