$A$ mass $m$ oscillates with simple harmonic motion with frequency $f = \frac{\omega}{2\pi}$ and amplitude $A$ on a spring with constant $K$. Therefore:

  • A
    The total energy of the system is $\frac{1}{2}KA^2$.
  • B
    The frequency is $\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{K}{m}}$.
  • C
    The maximum velocity occurs when $x = 0$.
  • D
    All the above are correct.
