Work Step by Step

a) The period is given by $$T=\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{2}=\color{red}{\bf 0.5}\;\rm s$$ _________________________________________________ b) The angular frequency $$\omega=2\pi f=2\pi (2)=\color{red}{\bf 4\pi} \;\rm rad/s$$ _________________________________________________ c) The amplitude is given by applying the conservation of energy. $$ \color{red}{\bf\not}\frac{1}{2}kA^2= \color{red}{\bf\not}\frac{1}{2}mv_{0x}^2+ \color{red}{\bf\not}\frac{1}{2}kx_0^2$$ $$ A^2= \dfrac{mv_{0x}^2+ kx_0^2}{k}$$ $$ A = \sqrt{\dfrac{mv_{0x}^2}{k}+ x_0^2 }$$ Recall that $k=m\omega^2$; and $\omega=2\pi f$ $$ A = \sqrt{\dfrac{ \color{red}{\bf\not}mv_{0x}^2}{ \color{red}{\bf\not}m(2\pi f)^2}+ x_0^2 }$$ $$ A = \sqrt{\dfrac{ v_{0x}^2}{(2\pi f)^2}+ x_0^2 }$$ Plugging the known; $$ A = \sqrt{\dfrac{ (-0.30)^2}{(2\pi (2))^2}+ (0.05)^2 }=\bf 0.055407\;\rm m$$ $$A=\color{red}{\bf5.54}\;\rm cm$$ _________________________________________________ d) Phase constant is given by from $$x_0=A\cos\phi_0$$ So, $$\phi_0=\cos^{-1}\left[\dfrac{x_0}{A} \right]$$ Plugging the known and recalling that this is a radian angle not in degrees, you need to be careful when using your calculator. $$\phi_0=\cos^{-1}\left[\dfrac{5}{5.54} \right]$$ $$\phi_0=\color{red}{\bf 0.445}\;\rm rad$$ _________________________________________________ e) The maximum speed is given by $$v_{\rm max}=A\omega=A(2\pi f)$$ $$v_{\rm max}=5.54\times 2\pi (2)=\color{red}{\bf 69.6}\;\rm cm/s$$ _________________________________________________ f) The maximum acceleration is given by $$a_{x,\rm max}=A\omega^2=A(2\pi f)^2$$ $$a_{x,\rm max}= 4\pi^2 Af^2$$ Plugging the known; $$a_{x,\rm max}= 4\pi^2 (5.54\times 10^{-2})(2)^2$$ $$a_{x,\rm max}= \color{red}{\bf 8.75}\;\rm m/s^2$$ _________________________________________________ g) The total energy is given by $$E_{tot}=\frac{1}{2}mv_{\rm max}^2$$ $$E_{tot}=\frac{1}{2}(0.20)(69.6\times 10^{-2})^2= \color{red}{\bf 0.048}\;\rm J$$ _________________________________________________ h) The position at $t=0.4$ is given by $$x_{(t)}=A \cos(2\pi ft+\phi_0)$$ $$x_{(\rm 0.4\;s)}=(5.54)\cos(2\pi (2)(0.4)+0.445)=\color{red}{\bf 3.81}\;\rm cm$$
