A 3.0 kg mass is connected to a spring with a spring constant of 6.0 N/m. The velocity is given by the expression v(t) = (10 cm/s) sin(ω t). What is the maximum velocity of the mass?
A) 10 cm/s
B) 14 cm/s
C) 17 cm/s
D) 20 cm/s
E) 25 cm/s

The maximum velocity of the mass is directly given by the expression for v(t), which is (10 cm/s) sin(ω t). The maximum value of the sine function is 1, so the maximum velocity is 10 cm/s.
