A particle of mass m is initially at x = 24 cm with a period of 1.2 s and moving with velocity vo = +49 cm/s. Write expressions for the following. (Round numerical values in your answers to two decimal places.) (a) the position x as a function of t x(t) = m (b) the velocity vy as a function of t Vx(t) = m/s (c) the acceleration ay as a function of t ax(t) = m/s? The position of the particle as a function of time is given by x = Acos(wt + 8). Its velocity and acceleration functions can be found by taking successive time derivatives of the position function. The initial position and velocity yield two equations from which to determine the amplitude and phase constant.

A block of mass m = 249 grams oscillates to the left and right with negligible friction on the end of an ideal spring with a spring constant of 117 N/m. At the time t = O, the block is a distance 0.145 m to the right of the equilibrium position and it is moving to the right with a speed of 3.1 ms. What is the velocity of the block (in units of meters per second) at the time when t = 0.129 seconds? The sign (positive or negative) of your answer is important. For the purposes of this question, velocity pointing to the right is positive and a velocity to the left is negative.
