A 0.900-kg block attached to a spring with force constant
k = 1.20 N/m oscillates with an amplitude equal to half
its natural length. The natural (un-stretched) length of the spring
is 18.0 cm.
(a) When submitting your work, sketch the figure below illustrating
the position, and directly underneath that, the velocity of the
mass as a function of time. Assume that x = 9.00 cm and
v =0 m/s when t = 0.00 s. Label the amplitude
A and period T of the motion directly on the
graph. Show at least one complete oscillation for each.
(b) What is the angular frequency of the oscillations?

(c) Find the maximum speed of the block.

(d) Find the time it takes to move from 9.00 cm to 4.50 cm (half
the amplitude).

(e) Find the acceleration of the block at 4.50 cm displacement.
