A mass of 1.2 kg is attached to a single spring and set into oscillation. The period of the spring oscillation is measured to be 4.80 seconds.
Part A What is the spring constant of the spring? =
Part B At t = 0 seconds, the position of the oscillator is found to be -27.33 cm and the velocity of the oscillator is +0.744 m/s. What is the amplitude of the oscillation? =
Part C What is the phase constant for the oscillation from part b)? Give your answer in radians. Be sure to give your answer between - and +. =
Part D At what positive position is the velocity exactly half of its maximum value? =
