- Please ONLY answer 2d and 2e 2a. A mass moving back and forth on a spring obeys the sinusoidal equation x(t) = A cos(2πft), where A is the amplitude of the oscillation or the maximum displacement of the mass from its equilibrium position, f is the frequency of the oscillation and t is the time. If the amplitude is 10.0 cm and the frequency is f = 0.500 Hz, what is the position of the mass at t = 3.00 s? 2b. The velocity of the mass is also a sinusoidal function with the same period and frequency: v(t) = -vmax sin(2πft). Calculate vmax and the velocity of the mass v(t) when t = 3.00 s. 2c. What is the period T of this oscillation? 2d. If you evaluate the position function at t = 0 s the cosine of zero is 1 so you get the maximum amplitude of the oscillation, A. This occurs at the maximum stretch of the spring from its equilibrium position. For a mass on a spring this corresponds to the maximum spring potential energy, and because the velocity is zero at the endpoints of the oscillation,…arrow_forwardA bat flying at 5.05 m/s is chasing an insect flying in the same direction.
