Question

A 2.00-kg frictionless block attached to an ideal spring with force constant 260 N/m is undergoing simple harmonic motion. When the block has displacement +0.200 m, it is moving in the negative x-direction with a speed of 4.00 m/s.

A. Find the amplitude of the motion.

A = ______ m

B. Find the block’s maximum acceleration.

a_{max = _________ m/s²}

C. Find the maximum force the spring exerts on the block.

F_max = _______ N
