A standing wave is formed by the superposition of two waves travelling in opposite directions. The transverse displacement is given by, y(x,t)=0.5sin(45πx)cos(200πt). What is the speed of the travelling wave moving in the positive x direction? (x and tare in meter and second, respectively)

A uniform disc of radius $R$ and mass $M$ is free to oscillate about the axis $A$ as shown in the figure. For small oscillations the time period is ______. ($g$ is acceleration due to gravity) 
The velocity of a particle executing simple harmonic motion along $x$-axis is described as $v^2 = 50 - x^2$, where $x$ represents displacement. If the time period of motion is $\dfrac{x}{7}$ s, the value of $x$ is _____.
A spring stretches by $2$ mm when it is loaded with a mass of $200$ g. From equilibrium position the mass is further pulled down by $2$ mm and released. The frequency associated with the system and maximum energy in the spring are __________ Hz and __________ J, respectively. (Take g $= 10$ m/s$^2$)
As shown in the figure, a spring is kept in a stretched position with some extension by holding the masses 1 kg and 0.2 kg with a separation more than spring natural length and are released. Assuming the horizontal surface to be frictionless, the angular frequency (in SI unit) of the system is : $k=150 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}$
