Problem

A particle undergoing simple harmonic motion has amplitude

10\,\text{cm}

and time period

2.0\,\text{s}

. At

t=0

its displacement is

6\,\text{cm}

and its velocity is

-0.25\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-1}

. Determine the acceleration of the particle at

t=0.50\,\text{s}

. a)

-0.79\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-2}

+0.62\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-2}

+0.79\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-2}

-0.99\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-2}
