Homework Statement



A mass is oscillating on a spring with a period of 1.45 s. At t = 0 the mass has zero speed and is at x = 8.80 cm. What is the magnitude of the acceleration at t = 2.30 s?

Homework Equations


x(t)=Acos(wt + phi)
a(t)=-Aw^2cos(wt + phi)
a=w^2x
T=2pi/w


The Attempt at a Solution



I've tried this a few different ways, first off what I do is convert the period (1.45s) to angular velocity using T=2pi/w, this then gives me the result of 4.33 rad/s. Using this I then substitute values into the equation for position to get,
8.80 = Acos(0)
from this equation I then solve for A and receive 8.80 cm.
Now the information I have is..
w=4.33 rad/s
A=8.80cm
t=2.30s
All of this I put into my equation for acceleration to get..
a(2.30)=-8.80(4.33^2)cos(4.33*2.30)
solving for acceleration the result comes to be 142 m/s^2, however when I input this number it comes out to be wrong? I'm confused as to what it is that I'm doing wrong, please help!

You just forgot to convert the amplitude of the oscillation (which is in cm) to metres before computing your answer.
 
oh wow haha now I feel dumb!
haha thank you!
