Answer

(a) $0.47s$ (b) $2.5cm$ (c) $4.6\frac{m}{s^2}$

Work Step by Step

(a) We know that $T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{K}}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{0.85}{150}}=0.47s$ (b) The amplitude can be determined as $A=\frac{v_{max}}{\omega}$ $\implies A=\frac{Tv_{max}}{2\pi}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $A=\frac{(0.4730)(0.35)}{2\pi}=2.5cm$ (c) We can find the maximum acceleration as $a_{max}=A(\frac{2\pi}{T})^2$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $a_{max}=0.02635(\frac{2\pi}{0.4730})^2=4.6\frac{m}{s^2}$
