Answer:
C)T
Explanation:
The period of a mass-spring system is:

As can be seen, the period of this simple harmonic motion, does not depend at all on the gravitational acceleration (g), neither the mass nor the spring constant depends on this value.
It's average speed during that 26 seconds was about 4.77 m/s. Without seeing the graph, we can't tell if it was going faster or slower at any particular time during that period. All we can tell is its average for the full interval.
Explanation:
Given:
v₀ = 15 m/s
a = 3.5 m/s²
t = 5.0 s
Find: v
v = at + v₀
v = (3.5 m/s²) (5.0 s) + 15 m/s
v = 32.5 m/s

Let's call

and

the masses of the two blocks. We can write Newton's second law for both blocks (sum of all forces acting on the block = ma). On block 1, we have two forces: the weight

pointing downwards and the tension of the string T poiting upwards. On block 2, we have the tension of the string going right and the friction

going left. Therefore


Summing the two equations, we find

and then using

we can find the acceleration:
A) it gets more negative
B) it becomes neutral
C) it gets more positive
D) it becomes reactive
(C) ;)
