Problem 3: (20 pts) An astronaut in space cannot weigh themselves by standing on a bathroom scale. Instead, they determine their mass by oscillating on a large spring. The astronaut attaches one end of a large spring to their belt and the other end to a hook on the wall of the space capsule. A fellow astronaut pulls them away from the wall and then releases. The spring's length as a function of time is shown in the graph. L (m) 1.4 1.2 1.0 0.8 0.6 0.4 0.2 0.0 1(s) 0 3 6 A. What is the astronaut's mass is if the spring constant is 240 N/m? B. Write an equation for the length, L(t), of the spring as a function of time, t. C. Write an equation for the velocity of the astronaut as a function of time. D. What is the astronaut's speed when the spring length is 1.2m?
