Question

The acceleration of a block attached to a spring is given by a=−(0.324m/s2)cos([2.50rad/s]t) a = − ( 0.324 m / s 2 ) c o s ( [ 2.50 r a d / s ] t ) . Part A What is the frequency of the block's motion?

Answer 1

Looks like you have:

a = -.324 cos 2.5 t

In this case ω^2 A = .324

ω = 2.5

f = ω / (2 * pi) = 2.5 / 6.28 = .40 / sec
