<span>f(x) = 5.05*sin(x*pi/12) + 5.15
First, you need to determine the period of the function. The period will be the time interval between identical points on the sinusoidal function. For this problem, the tide is rising and at 5.15 at midnight for two consecutive days. So the period is 24 hours. Over that 24 hour period, we want the parameter passed to sine to range from 0 to 2*pi. So the scale factor for x will be 2*pi/24 = pi/12 which is approximately 0.261799388. The next thing to note is the magnitude of the wave. That will simply be the difference between the maximum and minimum values. So 10.2 ft - 0.1 ft = 10.1 ft. And since the value of sine ranges from -1 to 1, we need to divide that magnitude by 2, so 10.1 ft / 2 = 5.05 ft.
So our function at this point looks like
f(x) = 5.05*sin(x*pi/12)
But the above function ranges in value from -5.05 to 5.05. So we need to add a bias to it in order to make the low value equal to 0.1. So 0.1 = X - 5.05, 0.1 + 5.05 = X, 5.15 = X. So our function now looks like:
f(x) = 5.05*sin(x*pi/12) + 5.15
The final thing that might have been needed would have been a phase correction. With this problem, we don't need a phase correction since at X = 0 (midnight), the value of X*pi/12 = 0, and the sine of 0 is 0, so the value of the equation is 5.15 which matches the given value of 5.15. But if the problem had been slightly different and the height of the tide at midnight has been something like 7 feet, then we would have had to calculate a phase shift value for the function and add that constant to the parameter being passed into sine, making the function look like:
f(x) = 5.05*sin(x*pi/12 + C) + 5.15
where
C = Phase correction offset.
But we don't need it for this problem, so the answer is:
f(x) = 5.05*sin(x*pi/12) + 5.15
Note: The above solution assumes that angles are being measured in radians. If you're using degrees, then instead of multiplying x by 2*pi/24 = pi/12, you need to multiply by 360/24 = 15 instead, giving f(x) = 5.05*sin(x*15) + 5.15</span>
The speed of a periodic wave disturbance is 2.45 m/s.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Sound waves travel as sinusoidal nature. And the distance between the two successive crests or troughs are determined as the wavelength of the sound wave.
Similarly, the measure of number of complete cycles in a given time is defined as frequency of sound wave. The speed of any wave is determined as the product of wavelength of transmission of wave and frequency of that wave.
Thus,
×
So,
× = 2.45 m/s.
Thus, the speed of periodic wave disturbance is 2.45 m/s.

Answer:
Mass of the aluminium chunk = 278.51 g
Explanation:
For an isolated system as given the energy lost and gains in the system will be zero therefore sum of all transfer of energy will be zero,as the temperature will also remain same
A specific heat formula is given as
Energy Change = Mass of liquid x Specific Heat Capacity x Change in temperature
Q = m×c×ΔT
Heat gain by aluminium + heat lost by copper = 0 (1)
For Aluminium:
Q =
Q = m x 17.94 joule
For Copper:
Q= 4996.53 Joule
from eq 1
m x 17.94 = 4996.53
Mass of the aluminium chunk = 278.51 g
