A mass sliding on a frictionless table is attached to a horizontal spring. It is noted to be at position x1 moving with a speed |v1|, and several seconds later at position x2 moving with a speed |v2|. What is the period of the mass attached to the spring? Choose x1 = 0.85m, x 2 = 1.1m, |v1| = 2.4m/s, and |v2|= 1.9m/s.
