If an object on a horizontal frictionless surface is attached to a spring, displaced, and then released, it will oscillate. If it is displaced a distance \( 0.115 \mathrm{~m} \) from its equilibrium position and released with zero initial speed. Then after a time \( 0.815 \mathrm{~s} \) its displacement is found to be a distance \( 0.115 \mathrm{~m} \) on the opposite side, and it has passed the equilibrium position once during this interval.

If an object on a horizontal, frictionless surface is attached to a spring, displaced, and then released, it will oscillate. If it is displaced $0.115 \mathrm{~m}$ from its equilibrium position and released with zero initial speed, then after $0.815 \mathrm{~s}$ its displacement is found to be $0.115 \mathrm{~m}$ on the opposite side, and it has passed the equilibrium position once during this interval. Find (a) the amplitude; (b) the period; (c) the frequency.
If an object on a horizontal, frictionless surface is attached to a spring, displaced, and then released, it will oscillate. If it is displaced 0.120 m from its equilibrium position and released with zero initial speed, then after 0.800 s its displacement is found to be 0.120 m on the opposite side, and it has passed the equilibrium position once during this interval. Find (a) the amplitude; (b) the period; (c) the frequency.

Describing Oscillation
$\bullet$ If an object on a horizontal frictionless surface is attached to a spring, displaced, and then released, it oscillates. Suppose it is displaced 0.120 $\mathrm{m}$ from its equilibrium position and released with zero initial speed. After $0.800 \mathrm{s},$ its displacement is found to be 0.120 $\mathrm{m}$ on the opposite side and it has passed the equilibrium position once during this interval. Find (a) the amplitude, (b) the period, and (c) the frequency of the motion.
