Concepts and reason
The concepts required to solve this question are simple harmonic motion, displacement, and velocity.
Initially, write the expression of the time period. Then, rearrange the expression for the angular frequency. Using the expression of the maximum speed calculate the amplitude of the oscillation. Finally, using the expression of the general equation of the displacement for the oscillation calculate the position at time t.
Fundamentals
The general equation of the displacement for simple harmonic motion is,
x(t)=Acos(ωt)
Here, x(t) is the displacement of the particle, A is the amplitude, t is the time, and ω is the angular frequency.
The expression of the time period (T) is,
T=ω2π
The expression of the maximum speed (v) is,
v=Aω
(A)
The expression of the time period (T) is,
T=ω2π
Rearrange the expression.
ω=T2π
Substitute 1.50 s for T.
ω=1.50s2π=4.189rad/s
The expression of the maximum speed (v) is,
v=Aω
Rearrange the expression for the amplitude of the oscillation.
A=ωv
Substitute 4.189s−1 for ω and 50.0 cm/s for v.
A=4.189s−150cm/s=11.94cm
(B)
The general equation of the displacement for simple harmonic motion is,
x(t)=Acos(ωt)
Substitute 11.94 cm for A, 29 s for t, and 4.189rad/s for ω .

A 283 g air track glider moving at 0.69 m/s on a 2.4 m long air
track collides elastically with a 467 g glider at rest in the
middle of the horizontal track. The end of the track over which the
struck glider moves is not frictionless, and the glider moves with
a coefficient of kinetic friciton = 0.02 with respect to the track.
Will the glider reach the end of the track? Neglect the length of
the gliders.
A spring is mounted over an air track in such a way that the one
end of the spring is fixed and the other is connected to a spring
scale. When the spring is stretched to 0.01 m a force of 1 N is
registered on the spring scale. The spring is relaxed and a glider
of 0.43 kg (resting on the air track) is connected to it. The
glider-spring system is then pulled to the right through a distance...
A particle of mass m is attached to a spring with a spring
