$(a)$ The period of oscillation 

$T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{5.0\, kg }{500\,N\,m^{-1}}}$

$=(2 \pi / 10)\, s$

$=0.63 \,s$

$(b)$ The velocity of the collar executing $SHM$ is given by

$v(t)=-A \omega \sin (\omega t+\phi)$

The maximum speed is given by,

$v_{m}=A \omega$

$=0.1 \times \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

$=0.1 \times \sqrt{\frac{500\, N m ^{-1}}{5\, kg }}$

$=1 \,m s ^{-1}$

and it occurs at $x=0$

$(c)$ The acceleration of the collar at the displacement $x(t)$ from the equilibrium is given by,

$a(t) =-\omega^{2} x(t)$

$=-\frac{k}{m} x(t)$

Therefore, the maximum acceleration is $a_{\max }=\omega^{2} A$

$=\frac{500\, N \,m ^{-1}}{5 \,kg } \times 0.1 \,m$

$=10\, m s ^{-2}$

and it occurs at the extremities.
