OOPS! Haha sorry it should be horizontal.

ok that makes sense maybe I'm missing something obvious, but how did you get this?

velocity = dx/dt and acceleration = d2x/dt2? So v = -ωAsin(ωt+phi) and a = -ω2Acos(ωt+phi) Sorry horizontal

Homework Statement A block attached to a spring is experiencing simple harmonic motion. You know the value of postion, velocity, and acceleration at an unknown time. Find the period of oscillation, the mass of the block, and the amplitude of oscillation. We were given values for k, x, v, a...

just to clarify, I'm more interested in the astronautical side of aerospace engineering.

Hopefully someone with some experience in the field can help me out here: I'm currently studying engineering and I'm going to use my liberal arts concentration to learn a second language. In the aerospace engineering field, i would think it would be beneficial to know Russian, Mandarin, or...
