A student is studying a 100.0g mass oscillating on a horizontal spring of spring constant k=18N/m. At t=0, the object was at rest and its position was x= 2.55cm from its equilibrium position.
(a) What is the amplitude of oscillation of the mass?
(b) Calculate omega.gif, f, and T.
(c) What is the maximum acceleration of the mass?
(d) What is the maximum velocity of the mass?
(e) Write the proper expression for the object's position, velocity, and acceleration as a function of time.
(f) What are the position, speed, and acceleration (magnitude only) of the object when the kinetic energy of the mass equals the potential energy of the spring mass system?
(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.
(h) Other than t=0s what are next three values of t in which v=0?
