Question

An object attached to a horizontal spring is oscillating backand forth along a frictionless surface. The maximum speed is 1.25m/s, and its maximum acceleration is 6.89 m/s2 . Howmuch time elapses between an instant when the object's speed is ata maximum and the next instant when its acceleration is at amaximum? Please help me solve this problem.

Explanation / Answer

The time elapsed between an instant when the object's speed isat a maximum is
t = (v/a) where v = 1.25 m/s and a = 6.89 m/s2 The next instant when its acceleration is at a maximum,theelapsed time is the same.This is because the time rate of change ofvelocity is called the acceleration. The next instant when its acceleration is at a maximum,theelapsed time is the same.This is because the time rate of change ofvelocity is called the acceleration.
