T = time/oscillations = 36/10 = 3.6s
f = 1/T = 1/3.6 = .278
Angular f = 2Pi/T = 2Pi/3.6 = 1.74
X (amplitude) = total distance/2 = (50cm - 3cm)/2 = 23.5 cm or .235 m
T = (2PiX)/Vmax or Vmax = (2PiX)/T = (2Pi0.235)/3.6 = .410 m/s

What is the frequency of the oscillations?
What is the angular frequency of the oscillations?
What is the amplitude?
What is the maximum speed of the glider?
