a. 0.5 T
- The amplitude A of a simple harmonic motion is the maximum displacement of the system with respect to the equilibrium position
- The period T is the time the system takes to complete one oscillation
During a full time period T, the mass on the spring oscillates back and forth, returning to its original position. This means that the total distance covered by the mass during a period T is 4 times the amplitude (4A), because the amplitude is just half the distance between the maximum and the minimum position, and during a time period the mass goes from the maximum to the minimum, and then back to the maximum.
So, the time t that the mass takes to move through a distance of 2 A can be found by using the proportion

and solving for t we find

b. 1.25T
Now we want to know the time t that the mass takes to move through a total distance of 5 A. SInce we know that
- the mass takes a time of 1 T to cover a distance of 4A
we can set the following proportion:

And by solving for t, we find

Number a is a correct one
Answer:
When work is positive, the environment does work on an object.
Explanation:
According to the work-energy theorem, the net work done by the forces on a body or an object is equal to the change produced in the kinetic energy of the body or an object.
The concept that summarizes a concept related to the work-energy theorem is that ''When work is positive, the environment does work on an object.''
