Problem

A block of mass mm is attached to a horizontal ideal spring with force constant kk. The block is pulled a distance xx to the right of the equilibrium position and released from rest on a frictionless surface. Which expression gives the block’s instantaneous acceleration aa at the moment of release? (a) a=kxma=\dfrac{kx}{m} (b) a=−kx2ma=-\dfrac{kx}{2m} (c) a=−kxma=-\dfrac{kx}{m} (d) a=−4π2kxma=-\dfrac{4\pi^{2}kx}{m}
