Refer to the diagram shown below.
m = the mass of the object
x = the distance of the object from the equilibrium position at time t.
v = the velocity of the object at time t
a = the acceleration of the object at time t
A = the amplitude ( the maximum distance) of the mass from the equilibrium
position
The oscillatory motion of the object (without damping) is given by
x(t) = A sin(ωt)
where
ω = the circular frequency of the motion
T = the period of the motion so that ω = (2π)/T
The velocity and acceleration are respectively
v(t) = ωA cos(ωt)
a(t) = -ω²A sin(ωt)
In the equilibrium position,
x is zero;
v is maximum;
a is zero.
At the farthest distance (A) from the equilibrium position,
x is maximum;
v is zero;
a is zero.
In the graphs shown, it is assumed (for illustrative purposes) that
A = 1 and T = 1.

Answer:
The space cadet that weighs 800 N on Earth will weigh 1,600 N on the exoplanet
Explanation:
The given parameters are;
The mass of the exoplanet = 1/2×The mass of the Earth, M = 1/2 × M
The radius of the exoplanet = 50% of the radius of the Earth = 1/2 × The Earth's radius, R = 50/100 × R = 1/2 × R
The weight of the cadet on Earth = 800 N
Therefore, for the weight of the cadet on the exoplanet, W₁, we have;
The weight of a space cadet on the exoplanet, that weighs 800 N on Earth = 1,600 N.
