Explanation / Answer

from the given data

m = 0.302 kg

K = 52.7 N/m

Amplitude, A = 0.25 m

at x = 0.1 2m, v = ?


Apply conservation of energy

(1/2)*k*x^2 + (1/2)*m*v^2 = (1/2)*k*A^2

m*v^2 = k*A^2 - k*x^2

v^2 = (k/m)*(A^2 - x^2)

v = sqrt((k/m)*(A^2 - x^2))

= sqrt( (52.7/0.302)*(0.25^2 - 0.12^2))

= 2.90 m/s
