Answer:

a. 365; b. 3; c. 78; d. 1.343 rad; e. 12; f. 10.66

Explanation:

Assume that the function is

D(x) = 3 \sin \left (\dfrac{2\pi}{365}(x - 78) \right ) + 12

The general formula for a sinusoidal function is

      y = A sin(B(x - C))+ D

   |A| = amplitude

     B = frequency

2π/B = period, P

     C = horizontal shift (phase shift)

     D = vertical shift

By comparing the two formulas, we find

|A| = 3

 B = 2π/365

 C = 78

 D = 12

a. Period

P = 2π/B = 2π/(2π/365) = 2π × 365/2π = 365

The period is 365.

b. Amplitude

|A| = 3

The amplitude is 3.  

c. Horizontal shift

C= 78

The horizontal shift is 78.

d. Phase shift  (φ)

Ths phase shift is the horizontal shift expressed in radians.

φ = C × 2π/365 = 78 × 2π/365 ≈ 1.343

The phase shift is 1.343 rad.

e. Vertical shift

D = 12

The vertical shift is 12.

f. Hours of sunlight on Feb 21

Feb 21 is the 52nd day of the year, so x = 51 (the number of days after Jan 1),

\begin{array}{rcl}D(x) &=& 3 \sin \left (\dfrac{2\pi}{365}(x - 78) \right ) + 12\\\\&=& 3 \sin (0.01721(51 - 78) ) + 12\\&=& 3\sin(-0.4648) + 12\\&=& 3(-0.4482) + 12\\\&=& -1.345 + 12\\& = & \textbf{10.66 h}\\\end{array}

There will be 10.66 h of sunlight on Feb 21 of any given year.

The figure below shows the graph of the function from 0 ≤ x ≤ 365.

A 20-cm-long spring is attached to a wall. When pulled horizontally with a force of 100 N, the spring stretches to a length of 2
Delvig [45]

Answer:

the length of stretched spring  in cm is 22

Explanation:

given information:

spring length, x1 = 20 cm = 0.2 m

force, F = 100 N

the length of spring streches, x2 = 22 cm = 0.22 m

According to Hooke's law

F = - kΔx

k = F/*=(x2-x1)

  = 100/(0.22 - 0.20)

  = 5000 N/m

if the spring is now suspended from a hook and a 10.2-kg block is attached to the bottom end

m = 10.2 kg

W = m g

    = 10.2 x 9.8

    = 99.96 N

F = - k Δx

Δx = F / k

     = 99.96 / 5000

     = 0.02

Δx = x2- x1

x2 = Δx + x1

    = 0.20 + 0.02

    = 0.22 m

     = 22 cm
