Question

Energy in SHM: A 1.8-kg mass attached to an
ideal massless spring with a spring constant of
24.0 N/m oscillates on a horizontal, frictionless
track. At time t = 0.00 s, the mass is released
from rest at x = 10.0 cm. (That is, the spring is
stretched by 10.0 cm.)
(a) Find the frequency of the oscillations.
(b) Determine the maximum speed of the mass.
At what point in the motion does the maximum
speed occur?
(c) What is the maximum acceleration of the
mass? At what point in the motion does the
maximum acceleration occur?
(d) Determine the total energy of the oscillating
system.
(e) Express the displacement x as a function of
time t.
