Homework Statement
A mass is oscillating on a spring with a period of 4.85 s. At t = 0 the mass has zero speed and is at x = 9.90 cm. What is the magnitude of the acceleration at t = 1.40 s?
Homework Equations
a=-w2x
x(t)=Acos(wt+phi)
The Attempt at a Solution
I tried using the equation for acceleration by solving for w in the equation dealing with position, but I don't have the phase change constant, and otherwise I have no idea how to begin going about this problem. I need a push in the right direction!
