Expert Solution
Step 1

Given 

x0=2.5 cma0=-8.0 cm/s2

The acceleration of the oscillator is

 a0=-ω2x0ω is the angular velocity of the oscillator.

The angular velocity is 

ω=a0x0=8.0 cm/s22.5 cm=1.8 rad /s

Step 2

The amplitude of oscillation A=4.5 cm

The maximum velocity of the oscillator is

 vmax=vmax=4.5 cm1.8 rad/svmax=8.1 cm
