A buoy moves up and down with the waves in simple harmonic motion. This buoy moves a total of 12 feet from its minimum position
to its maximum position. The buoy returns to its maximum point every 10 seconds. Find the following. a. Amplitude
b. Period
c. Frequency
d. An equation for the buoys position
e. If the buoy has a bell that makes a sound whenever it is 2 from its maximum height. State the time intervals between bell rings. You may answer as a decimal accurate to the hundredths place. Note that there are two answers (a short interval and a longer interval).
2 inches = 50 miles 1 inch = 25miles 0.5 inches = 12.5 miles 0.25 inches = 6.25 you need 1.25 so you do 25+ 6.25 and get 31.25. To the nearest mile this would be 31 miles.
