Science Homework Help

A ride is made to model a simple harmonic oscillator. In this ride, the rider sits in a sled, attached to a spring. The sled then oscillates back and forth over a frictionless surface. Chance (with a mass of m = 20 kg) jumps in the sled. You time the motion, starting the stopwatch as Chance is moving right at the 8 meter mark (where 0 m is equilibrium). Chance reaches maximum displacement of 10 meters one second later. During the first cycle of motion, when does Chance pass the 5 meter mark?
