[Imbadatphysics]

Homework Statement

A 75g object vibrates at the end of a spring(k=5.0 N/M) if the maximum displacement of the object is 0/080m to tge right what is the maximum acceleration?

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

Fs=-kx so... (-5)(0.080)=Fs and fs=fg so -0.4=75a then a is -.0053... the answer is like 5.3ms/^2 left did i convert something wrong...
