# Homework 5

Directions: Turn in your answers in class on a physical piece of paper. Staple multiple sheets together. Feel free to use Desmos for graphing.

1. Find a function that models the simple harmonic motion with the following properties. Assume the displacement is zero at $t = 0$.
1. Amplitude 4 centimeters, period 3 seconds
2. Amplitude 8 meters, frequency $\frac{1}{2}$ Hz (cycles per second)
2. Find a function that models the simple harmonic motion with the following properties. Assume the displacement is at the maximum at $t = 0$.
1. Amplitude 3 inches, period 2 minutes
2. Amplitude 1.2 meters, frequency $5$ Hz
3. For the functions $y_1 = 10\sin\left(3t - \frac{\pi}{2}\right) \qquad y_2 = 10\sin\left(3t - \frac{5\pi}{2}\right)$ Are they in phase?
4. Suppose $y_1 = \cos(2x - 3), y_2 = \cos(5x + 5)$ Will these functions ever be in phase? Why or why not?
5. In a predator/prey model, the predator population is modeled by the function $y = 1100\cos\left(3t\right) + 500$ where $t$ is measured in years.
1. What is the maximum population?
2. Find the length of time between successive periods of maximum population.
6. A mass suspended from a spring is at rest. Force is introduced at time $t = 0$, causing the mass to displace a maximum of four inches. If the mass completes 4 cycles in one second, find an equation that describes its motion.
7. A mass suspended from a spring is at rest. It is pulled down three centimeters and released at time $t = 0$. If the mass returns to the location it was released at after one second, find an equation that describes its motion. Hint: It starts at the lowest position.
8. When you listen to music involving electronic elements, what type of waves are you listening to?
9. Convert the following to radians:
1. $150^\circ$
2. $-60^\circ$
10. What is the mathematical relationship between the central angle and the arc length?
11. Suppose a circle has radius five centimeters. A central angle of measure $40^\circ$ subtends an arc. Find the length of the arc.
12. Suppose a circle has radius five centimeters. A central angle of measure $40^\circ$ subtends an arc. Find the area of the sector covered by the arc.
13. Suppose the time is 1:00 PM. How many radians does the minute hand move the clock if it is 1:45 PM? (rotation is clockwise here!)
14. A truck with 24 inch radius wheels are rotating at 400 revolutions per minute.
1. What is the angular speed (in radians)?
2. What is the linear speed (in inches)?
15. Suppose a right triangle $ABC$ has an acute angle $\theta$. The opposite side has length 3, adjacent length 4. Find $\sin(\theta)$.
16. Sketch a triangle and it's acute angle $\theta$ that has $\tan(\theta) = \frac{10}{8}$. Label all three sides.
17. A right triangle ABC has one acute angle $45^\circ$. The hypotenuse has length $16\sqrt{2}$. Solve the triangle.
