**Problem Statement:**

A mass of 5 kilograms is attached to the end of a spring that is stretched 20 cm by a force of 9 N. It is set in motion with an initial position \( x(0) = 0 \) and velocity \( v(0) = -10 \, \text{m/s} \). Find the amplitude and the frequency of the resulting motion.

**Options:**

a. Amplitude = 3 m, freq. = \( \frac{5}{2\pi} \) Hz  
b. Amplitude = 3 m, freq. = \( \frac{3}{2\pi} \) Hz  
c. Amplitude = \( \frac{5}{3} \) m, freq. = \( \frac{3}{2\pi} \) Hz  
d. Amplitude = \( \frac{10}{3} \) m, freq. = \( \frac{3}{2\pi} \) Hz  

**Answer Choices:**

- ○ a
- ○ b
- ○ c
- ○ d
