A 100-kg glider attached to a spring with a force constant


A 1.00-kg glider attached to a spring with a force constant 9.0 N/m oscillates on a frictionless, horizontal air track. At t = 0, the glider is released from rest at x = -2.80 cm (that is, the spring is compressed by 2.80 cm).

(a) Find the period of the glider's motion.

________________ s

(b) Find the maximum values of its speed and acceleration.

speed ________________ m/s

acceleration ___________ m/s2

(c) Find the position, velocity, and acceleration as functions of time. (Where position is in m, velocity is in m/s, acceleration is in m/s2, and t is in s. Use the following as necessary: t.)
