title: "A mass is attached to a spring of spring constant 60 N/m along a horizontal, frictionless surface. The spring is initially stretched by a force of 5.0 N on the mass and let go. It takes the mass 0.50 to go back to its equilibrium position when it is oscillating. What is the amplitude?"

A mass is attached to a spring of spring constant 60 N/m along a horizontal, frictionless surface. The spring is initially stretched by a force of 5.0 N and let go. It takes the mass 0.50 s to go back to its equilibrium position when it is oscillating. What is the amplitude?

- **A.** 0.030 m
- **B.** 0.083 m
- **C.** 0.30 m
- **D.** 0.83 m
