Answer

$a = -200~m/s^2$

Work Step by Step

In part (b), we found that the mass of the block is $0.20~m$ At $t = 0.10~s$, the velocity is $v = 0$ so the block must be at one of the endpoints. Just after this time the velocity is then negative, so the block must be at the most positive displacement at $t = 0.10~s$ We can find the acceleration: $F = ma$ $-kx = ma$ $a = \frac{-kx}{m}$ $a = \frac{-(200~N/m)(0.20~m)}{0.20~kg}$ $a = -200~m/s^2$
