Answer:
First Quarter and Third Quarter.
Explanation:
Tides are formed as a consequence of the differentiation of gravity due to the Moon across to the Earth sphere.
Since gravity variates with the distance:
(1)
Where m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects that are interacting and r is the distance between them.
For example, seeing the image below, point A is closer to the Moon than point b, and at the same time the center of mass of the Earth will feel more attracted to the Moon than point B. Therefore, that creates a tidal bulge in point A and point B.
When the Sun and the Moon are alight with respect to the Earth, then the Sun tidal force contributes to the tidal force of the Moon over the Earth. That makes the high tides even higher (spring tides).
However, when the Sun is not in the same line than the Moon (the Moon is at 90° with respect to the Sun), then the low tides are higher and the high tides are lower. That scenario is known as neap tides.
Therefore, that happens when the Moon is at First Quarter and Third Quarter.
The spring is initially stretched, and the mass released from rest (v=0). The next time the speed becomes zero again is when the spring is fully compressed, and the mass is on the opposite side of the spring with respect to its equilibrium position, after a time t=0.100 s. This corresponds to half oscillation of the system. Therefore, the period of a full oscillation of the system is
Which means that the frequency is
and the angular frequency is
In a spring-mass system, the maximum velocity of the object is given by
where A is the amplitude of the oscillation. In our problem, the amplitude of the motion corresponds to the initial displacement of the object (A=0.500 m), therefore the maximum velocity is
