A buoy floating in the ocean is bobbing in simple harmonic motion with period 5 seconds and amplitude 4ft. Its displacement d fr

om sea level at time =t0 seconds is −4ft, and initially it moves upward. (Note that upward is the positive direction.) Give the equation modeling the displacement d as a function of time t.

Answer:

d=-4Cos(\frac{2\pi}{5}t)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Period =5 s

Amplitude=4 ft

Displacement d from sea level at time t=0s=-4 ft

We have to find the modelling equation displacement d as a function of time.

We know that

The general equation of sinusoidal function is given by

y(t)=Acos(Bt-C)+D

B=\frac{2\pi}{period}=\frac{2\pi}{5}

When t=0, y=d=-4 ft, D=0

Substitute the values then we get

-4=4Cos(\frac{2\pi}{5}(0)-C)+0

-4=4Cos(-C)

Cos(-C)=-1

We know that Cos(-x)=Cos x

Cos C=-1

Cos C=Cos \pi  (cos(\pi)=-1)

C=\pi

Substitute the values then, we get

d=4Cos(\frac{2\pi}{5}t-\pi)+0

d=4Cos(-(\pi-\frac{2\pi}{5}t))

d=4Cos(\pi-\frac{2\pi}{5}t)

Cos(\pi-x)=-Cosx

d=-4Cos(\frac{2\pi}{5}t)
