a) The amplitude of oscillation is 0.780 m.
b) The force constant of the spring can be determined by using the equation F=kx, where F is the force applied to the mass, k is the force constant, and x is the displacement of the mass. Since the displacement of the mass is 0.780 m, we can solve for k to get k = F/x = 0.780 N/m.
c) The position of the mass after one half a period is given by x(t) = (0.780 m)cos[(18.0 rad/s)t] = (0.780 m)cos[(9.0 rad/s)t] = 0.780 m.
d) The position of the mass one-third of a period after it has been released is given by x(t) = (0.780 m)cos[(18.0 rad/s)t] = (0.780 m)cos[(6.0 rad/s)t] = -0.500 m.
e) To determine the time it takes the mass to get to the position x=-0.500 m after it has been released, we can use the equation x(t) = (0.780 m)cos[(18.0 rad/s)t]. Since we know that x=-0.500 m when t=t0, we can solve for t0 to get t0=6.00 s. Therefore, it takes the mass 6.00 s to get to the position x=-0.500 m after it has been released.
