Question

A mass is placed on a frictionless, horizontal table. A spring (k=100 N/m)(k=100 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}), which can be stretched or compressed, is placed on the table. A 5.00kg5.00-\mathrm{kg} mass is attached to one end of the spring, the other end is anchored to the wall. The equilibrium position is marked at zéro. A student moves the mass out to x=4.0 cmx=4.0 \mathrm{~cm} and releases it from rest. The mass oscillates in SHM. (a) Determine the equations of motion. (b) Find the position, velocity, and acceleration of the mass at time t=3.00 st=3.00 \mathrm{~s}.

a) The equation of motion is derived from Newton's second law.

F=makx=mx¨x¨+ω2x=0\begin{align*} F &= ma \\ -kx &= m\ddot{x} \\ \ddot{x} + \omega^2x &= 0 \end{align*}

Where we used a supstitution ω2=km\omega^2 = \dfrac{k}{m}
