Question

A mass on a spring moving along the x-axis in simple harmonic motion starts from the equilibrium position, the origin, at -0 and moves to the right (consider the right to be the positive x direction). The amplitude of its motion is 1.75 cm and its period is 0.667 s. You observe the motion for 5 seconds. a. At what time(s) in those 5 seconds do you observe the n 3. x=0 +X Ax acceleration? At what time(s) does in those S seconds this mass have the maximum negative acceleration (ie. pointing in the negative x direction)? b. At what earliest time does this mass have the maximum positive acceleration (ie. pointing in the positive x direction)? c. Physics 2C Week 1 WS
