In summary, the conversation discusses a problem involving Hooke's law and using it to plot the force versus time on the same axis as the displacement versus time. The relevant equation is F=-kx and the force is 0 when the displacement is zero. The importance of listing relevant equations is also highlighted.

Welcome to the PF.
No, the answer is not E. Think in terms of forces. What is the Relevant Equation that relates the spring force on the mass to the displacement of the mass from the uncompressed position of the spring...?

Yep, good. So write out Hooke's law for this problem. If the graph shows the displacement versus time of the mass, can you plot the Force versus time on the same time axis? What is the force when the displacement is zero?

F= -kX
So
F= -(A)(T)
So thuis mean - and 0 so C?
So
F= -(A)(T)

Yep, good! That's why we have the section of the Homework Help Template that asks for the Relevant Equations. Often just by listing the equations that are involved, it makes figuring out the problem much easier. :-)

Actually, one small typo fix -- you correctly show F=-kx, but then you say F=-AT. It should be F=-A*0 = 0. But I think that's what you meant anyway.
FAQ: Why is this crazy oscillating graph decreasing?
What is a "Crazy Oscillating Graph"?
A "Crazy Oscillating Graph" is a type of graph that shows a pattern of rapidly changing values over time. It is characterized by frequent peaks and valleys, often with no clear overall trend.
What causes a "Crazy Oscillating Graph"?
There can be many factors that contribute to a "Crazy Oscillating Graph", including external influences such as weather or economic conditions, or internal processes such as chemical reactions or biological cycles. It may also be a result of inconsistent data or measurement errors.
Can a "Crazy Oscillating Graph" be predicted?
In some cases, it may be possible to predict the general pattern of a "Crazy Oscillating Graph" based on past data. However, due to the complex and unpredictable nature of the factors involved, it is often difficult to make accurate predictions.
How can a "Crazy Oscillating Graph" be analyzed?
To analyze a "Crazy Oscillating Graph", scientists often use statistical methods to identify any underlying patterns or relationships between the variables. They may also use mathematical models or computer simulations to better understand the behavior of the graph.
What are some real-world examples of "Crazy Oscillating Graphs"?
"Crazy Oscillating Graphs" can be found in many fields of science, such as climate data, stock market trends, and population growth. They can also be seen in everyday life, such as heart rate variability or traffic patterns.
