Write the equations that describe the simple harmonic motion of a particle moving uniformly around a circle of radius8​units, with linear speed 3units per second.
Prove that using x(t) = Asin (ωt + ϕ) will produce the same results for the period for the oscillations of a mass and a spring. Why do you think the cosine function was chosen?
The equation of motion for a damped harmonic oscillator is s(t) = Ae^(−kt) sin(ωt + δ),where A, k, ω, δ are constants. (This represents, for example, the position of springrelative to its rest position if it is restricted from freely oscillating as it normally would).(a) Find the velocity of the oscillator at any time t.(b) At what time(s) is the oscillator stopped?
