The question is about unclear since no picture provided. But from the question, it could be guessed that the box is moving back and forth on the frictionless plane at the amplitude of A in simple harmonic motion.
Answer:
D. At x=0, it's acceleration is at a maximum
Explanation:
As the box move forward, it reaches point A and than move backward. Theoretically, the box will move backwards, through its origin, to point -A and then going forward.
Point A is the maximum displacement of the box in this case. At this point, the box instantaneously stop to go backward. Therefore the velocity at that moment is zero.
From point -A, the box travel forward and keep building up speed due to the release in potential energy of the spring. And at point x=0, the velocity become maximum. After point x=0, the velocity of the box slows down due to the conversion of kinetic energy to potential energy of the spring. And as it reaches point A, it reaches zero velocity.
The same can be said as the box travels backward from point A to -A

This can be answered using the beat frequency formula, which is simply the difference between 2 frequencies.
Let: <span>fᵇ = beat frequency
</span>f₁ = first frequency
f₂ = second frequency
fᵇ = |f₁ - f₂|
substituting the values:
fᵇ = |24Hz - 20Hz|
fᵇ = 4Hz
The unit Hz also means beats per second, therefore:
<span>fᵇ = 4 beats per second
</span>
Therefore, the answer is C. 4
By definition, acceleration is the change in velocity per change of time. As time passes by, the time increases in value. So, when the acceleration is decreasing while the time is increasing, then that means that the change of velocity is also decreasing with time. So, optimally, the initial velocity and the velocity at any time are very relatively close to each other,
Newton's 2nd law of motion:
Force = (mass) x (acceleration)
Divide each side by (mass):
Acceleration = (force) / (mass)
= (100 N) / (50 kg)
= 2 m/s²
