# Using the graph of position versus time for the simple harmonic motion of a weight on a string, determine (a) the amplitude of the motion (b) the period of the motion (c) the frequency of the motion.  Label on the graph: (d) the place on the graph where the velocity is \( 0 \) (e) the places on the graph where the acceleration is max and min (f) the places on the graph where the kinetic energy is max (g) the places on the graph where the potential energy is.
