Question

A 1.00-kg glider attached to a spring with a force constant of 25.0 N/m oscillates on a frictionless, horizontal air track. At t = 0, the glider is released from rest at x = –3.00 cm (that is, the spring is compressed by 3.00 cm).

Find (a) the period of the glider’s motion, (b) the maximum values of its speed and acceleration, and (c) the position, velocity, and acceleration as functions of time.
