Explanation / Answer

to answer this problem you must know the mechanics of the waveequations x = (xmax)cos[t +] with this you take thederivative to get v= -xmaxsin(t +) so max speed is xmax times xmax*=15*12= 180cm/s for part b the max velocity will be when the block is at thecenter of the oscilation so if the oscilator oscilates from -15 to 15 the max speedwill be at 0 to get max acceration you take the derivative of the velocitygraph v= -xmaxsin(t +) a=-xmax2cos(t +) so max accerlation will be atxmax2 xmax2=15*122=2160cm/s2=.216m/s2 and it's max when you get to the ends so at -15 and 15 and for the last part F=ma so F=(.38)(.216m/s2)= .08208 N and it's max when you get to the ends so at -15 and 15 and for the last part F=ma so F=(.38)(.216m/s2)= .08208 N
