A machine part of mass m is attached to a horizontal ideal spring of force constant k

Question:

A machine part of mass m is attached to a horizontal ideal spring of force constant k that is attached to the edge of a friction free horizontal surface. The part is pushed against the spring, compressing it a distance Xo, and then released from rest. Find the maximum (a) speed and (h) acceleration of the machine part (c) Where in the motion do the maxima in parts (a) and (b) occur? (d) What will be the maximum extension of the spring? (e) Describe the subsequent motion of this machine part Will it ever stop permanently?
