Question
A 0.28-kg block on a horizontal frictionless surface is attached to an ideal massless spring whose spring constant is 500 N/m. The block is pulled from its equilibrium position at x = 0.00 m to a displacement x = + 0.080 m and is released from rest. The block then executes simple harmonic motion along the horizontal x-axis. When the displacement is x = -0.052 m, find the acceleration of the block.

Answer:
The block will accelerate at 92.86m/s²
Explanation:
Answer:
The block will accelerate at 92.86m/s²
Explanation:
The acceleration of a simple harmonic motion of a spring is expressed as
a= – kx/m
Where k = spring constant
x= displacement
m= mass of block
Given data
Spring constant k = 500N/m
Displacement x= – 0.052m
Mass of block m= 0.28kg
Pluging this parameters into the expression for acceleration we have
a= – 500*(-0.052)/0.28
a= 26/0.28
a= 92.86m/s²
