write an equation for Simple Harmonic Motion if given:
given:
A = 4in,
f =1.5(rad/s)
max at t=0 => so, we have cosine function:
x ( t ) = A cos ( ω t + ϕ )
where A is the amplitude measured in meters or inches, t is the time measured in seconds, ω is the angular frequency with units of inverse seconds, ϕ is the phase shift measured in radian
since f= ω / 2π , then
1.5/s = ω / 2π
(1.5*2π) /s = ω
ω = (3π)(rad/s)
ϕ =0..... (because maximum is at t=0)
x ( t ) = 4cos ( 3π*t + 0 )
x ( t ) = 4cos ( 3π*t )
