Question

A student is studying a 100.0g mass oscillating on a horizontal spring of spring constant k=20N/m. At t=0, the object was at rest and its position was x= 2.45cm from its equilibrium position.

(a) What is the amplitude of oscillation of the mass?


m

(b) Calculate , f, and T.


/s


/s


s

(c) What is the maximum acceleration of the mass?


m/s2

(d) What is the maximum velocity of the mass?


m/s

(e) Write the proper expression for the object's position, velocity, and acceleration as a function of time.

m/s2

(g) What are the first three values of t in which x=0? Notice that they will also correspond to the first three values in which the acceleration is zero.
