Answer:

(1 cm)cos3πt

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the piston starts at its maximal height and returns to its maximal height three times evert 2 seconds, it is modelled by a cosine functions, since a cosine function starts at its maximum point. So, its height h = Acos2πft

where A = amplitude of the oscillation and f = frequency of oscillation and t = time of propagation of oscillation.

Now, since the piston rises in such a way that it returns to the maximal height three times every two seconds, its frequency, f = number of oscillations/time taken for oscillation where number of oscillations = 3 and time taken for oscillations  = 2 s

So, f = 3/2 s =1.5 /s = 1.5 Hz

Also, since the the piston moves between 3 cm and 5 cm, the distance between its maximum displacement(crest) of 5 cm and minimum displacement(trough) of 3 cm is H = 5 cm - 3 cm = 2 cm. So its amplitude, A = H/2 = 2 cm/2 = 1 cm

h = Acos2πft

= (1 cm)cos2π(1.5Hz)t

= (1 cm)cos3πt

Can the sides of a triangle have lengths 3.5, 10.9, and 14.4?
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle can NOT have those lengths because any side of a triangle has to have a length greater than the sum of the other two sides. In this case, 14.4, one of the sides, is not greater than the sum of the other two sides (which is also 14.4).

Hope this helps :)
