- The number of cycles per second of a point in simple harmonic motion is its .arrow_forwardDetermine the equation of the function whose amplitude is half the original function, the period is double the original function, and the new maximum value is 3 less than the old value. Y = 14cos6x+4arrow_forwardI have a question, on how this problem could mean when finding the angle with the figure shown, and the given function?arrow_forward
- What is the amplitude and frequency of the wave in yellow and plot a graph using the new equation from itarrow_forward3. Instead of relying on your old alarm clock you would like to use your calculator to show the endpoint of the second hand on the graphing screen. Use the dimensions of your alarm clock shown on the right to create a parametric function that will model the endpoint of the second hand, starting straight up, and should have a period of 60 seconds.arrow_forwardat a certain ocean bay, the maximum height of the water is 4m above mean sea level at 8:00 am. The height is at a maximum height at 8:24 pm. assuming that the relationship between the height, h, in metres, and the time, t, in hours, is sinusoidal, determine the height of the water above mean sea level at 10:00 am. I got 2.1 can someone confirm w steps if right answer?arrow_forward
- Suppose that a 6-foot tall person is 12 feet away from an18-foot tall lampost. (a) use similar triangles to find a relationship between x and z (b) If the person is moving away from that lampost at the rate of 2ft/sec, at what rate is the length of the shadow changing?arrow_forwardRyan is eagerly watching a yellow flower falling straight down towards a point on the ground whose horizontal distance from Ryan is 75 cm. If the angle of elevation of the yellow flower is decreasing at a constant rate of 1/20 radian per second, how fast is the yellow flower falling at the moment when the yellow flower is 25√3 cm from the ground?arrow_forward9.3 #10 Find vertical and horizontal tangentarrow_forward
- "The formula specifies the position of a point P that is moving harmonically on a vertical axis, where t is in seconds and d is in centimeters. Determine the amplitude, period, and frequency, and describe the motion of the point during one complete oscillation (starting at t = 0).arrow_forwardA Ferris wheel of diameter 18.5 m rotates at a rate of 0.2 rad/s. If passengers board the lowest car at aheight of 3 m above the ground, determine a cosine function that models the height, h, in metres, of thecar relative to the ground as a function of the time, t, in seconds.arrow_forward
