Answer:
a = 2 m/s2
Explanation:
we know from newtons 2nd law
F = ma.
we also know that from hookes law we have
F = kx
equate both value of force to get value of acceleration
kx = ma,
where,
k is spring constant = 8.0 N/m
x is maximum displacement 0.10 m
m is mass of object 0.40 kg
a = \frac{kx}{m}
= \frac{8 *0 .10}{0.40}
a = 2 m/s2
