A 0.50-kg box is attached to an ideal spring of spring constant 20 N/m on a horizontal, frictionless floor.
 
  The box oscillates in simple harmonic motion and has a speed of 1.5 m/s at the equilibrium position.
  (a) What is the amplitude of vibration?
  (b) At what distance from the equilibrium position are the kinetic energy and the potential energy the same?

Question 2

If you add 1.33 MJ of thermal energy to 500 g of water at 50C in a sealed container, what is the final temperature of the steam?
