A rectangular block of mass labeled m rests on a flat horizontal line representing a frictionless surface. A single horizontal force arrow labeled F(t) points to the right, attached to the right face of the block. Below the surface, a horizontal x-axis arrow points to the right. No other vectors, labels, or background lines appear.
Block of mass m acted on by force F(t).
A block of mass \(m\) is initially at rest at position \(x = 0\) on a frictionless horizontal surface. Beginning at time \(t = 0\), a time-dependent horizontal force \(F(t) = F_0 \sin(\omega t)\) is applied to the block in the positive \(x\)-direction, where \(F_0\) and \(\omega\) are positive constants. Which of the following expressions represents the maximum speed \(v_{\text{max}}\) attained by the block?
