A mass m = 0.3 kg is attached to a spring of spring constant k = 2×103 N/m. When the spring is fully extended to the right, it contains 500 J of stored energy. a) Calculate the acceleration when the spring is fully extended. Give your answer in m/s2. Which way is it pointing? b) When the mass is released, calculate the period of oscillation, in seconds.
