A mass of 0.520 kg is attached to a spring and set into oscillation on a horizontal frictionless surface. The simple harmonic motion of the mass is described by x(t) = (0.780 m)cos[(18.0 rad/s)t]. Determine the following. (a) amplitude of oscillation for the oscillating mass (b) force constant for the spring N/m (c) position of the mass after it has been oscillating for one half a period (d) position of the mass one-third of a period after it has been released How can you determine the position of the object at a specific time from an expression for the position of the object at any time? m (e) time it takes the mass to get to the position x = −0.500 m after it has been released (s)
