A 0.175 kg mass on a table is attached to a horizontal spring with a spring constant of 155 N/m. Ignore all friction and air resistance in this problem (i.e. assume no non-conservative forces act on the system). Assuming you call time t=0 the time when the mass is moving to the left (in the negative direction) through equilibrium, sketch a graph of the horizontal displacement of the mass vs. time for two full periods. Make sure to label your axes correctly and to mark the numerical values of your amplitude and period on the graph. Determine whether the mass is located to the left or the right of equilibrium at t=0.240 s. Determine if the mass is moving to the left or to the right at t=0.240 s. At some time you make a measurement of the mass and find that it is moving at a speed of 0.815 m/s and is 0.03 m from equilibrium. Find the amplitude of the oscillation.
Suppose a spring with spring constant 2 N/m is horizontal and has one end attached to a wall and the other end attached to a 2 kg mass.

Let x to denote the displacement, in meters, of the mass from its equilibrium position, and give your answer in terms of a, x', ".

A mass attached to a spring has non-constant acceleration a(t) = - cos ((pi*t)/4) * m / (s ^ 2) where t is time measured in seconds. If the initial velocity is zero, v\{0\} = 0m / s then what is the net change in position from t = 0 and t = 3 s? Give a numeric answer rounded to two decimal places.
Imagine you've constructed a pendulum at home and measured the length of the rope and the period. The goal here is to create a graph where the slope corresponds to the gravitational acceleration constant. For that you have to get an X and a Y. First, you have these 2 equations as a starting point: T= 2π/ω and ω= sqrt(g/L). Play with the equations to construct an equation for a linear graph with the form: Y=mX+b where the slope m=g. Identify clearly what X and Y represent. The equation should look like: ? = g(? + ?)
