The displacement yy of a particle executing simple harmonic motion is given by the equation:

y=4sin⁡(0.2t+0.3)y = 4 \sin (0.2t + 0.3)

This equation is in the standard form y=Asin⁡(ωt+ϕ)y = A \sin(\omega t + \phi), where:

  • AA is the amplitude
  • ω\omega is the angular frequency
  • ϕ\phi is the phase constant

From the given equation, we can identify:
Amplitude, A=4 mA = 4 \text{ m}
Angular frequency, ω=0.2 rad/s\omega = 0.2 \text{ rad/s}
Phase constant, ϕ=0.3 rad\phi = 0.3 \text{ rad}

Part i· 4 steps

Calculate the angular frequency, the frequency, period and phase of the motion.

  1. Identify the angular frequency.

    From the equation, the angular frequency is directly given.

    ω=0.2 rad/s\omega = 0.2 \text{ rad/s}

    The angular frequency is 0.2 rad/s\boxed{0.2 \text{ rad/s}}.

  2. Calculate the frequency (ff).

    The frequency is related to the angular frequency by the formula f=ω2πf = \frac{\omega}{2\pi}.

    f=0.2 rad/s2π radf = \frac{0.2 \text{ rad/s}}{2\pi \text{ rad}} f=0.1π Hzf = \frac{0.1}{\pi} \text{ Hz} f≈0.13.14159 Hzf \approx \frac{0.1}{3.14159} \text{ Hz} f≈0.0318 Hzf \approx 0.0318 \text{ Hz}

    The frequency is 0.0318 Hz\boxed{0.0318 \text{ Hz}}.

  3. Calculate the period (TT).

    The period is the reciprocal of the frequency, T=1fT = \frac{1}{f}, or can be calculated as T=2πωT = \frac{2\pi}{\omega}.

    T=2π rad0.2 rad/sT = \frac{2\pi \text{ rad}}{0.2 \text{ rad/s}} T=10π sT = 10\pi \text{ s} T≈10×3.14159 sT \approx 10 \times 3.14159 \text{ s} T≈31.4 sT \approx 31.4 \text{ s}

    The period is 31.4 s\boxed{31.4 \text{ s}}.

  4. Identify the phase of the motion.

    The phase constant (or initial phase) is directly given in the equation.

    ϕ=0.3 rad\phi = 0.3 \text{ rad}

    The phase is 0.3 rad\boxed{0.3 \text{ rad}}.

Part ii· 4 steps

Calculate the initial velocity and acceleration of the particle.

  1. Find the general expression for velocity (vv).

    Velocity is the first derivative of displacement with respect to time.

    v=dydt=ddt[Asin⁡(ωt+ϕ)]v = \frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt} [A \sin(\omega t + \phi)] v=Aωcos⁡(ωt+ϕ)v = A\omega \cos(\omega t + \phi)

    Substitute the values:

    v=(4 m)(0.2 rad/s)cos⁡(0.2t+0.3)v = (4 \text{ m})(0.2 \text{ rad/s}) \cos(0.2t + 0.3) v=0.8cos⁡(0.2t+0.3) m/sv = 0.8 \cos(0.2t + 0.3) \text{ m/s}
  2. Calculate the initial velocity (v0v_0) at t=0t=0.

    v0=0.8cos⁡(0.2(0)+0.3)v_0 = 0.8 \cos(0.2(0) + 0.3) v0=0.8cos⁡(0.3) m/sv_0 = 0.8 \cos(0.3) \text{ m/s}

    Using cos⁡(0.3 rad)≈0.9553\cos(0.3 \text{ rad}) \approx 0.9553:

    v0≈0.8×0.9553 m/sv_0 \approx 0.8 \times 0.9553 \text{ m/s} v0≈0.764 m/sv_0 \approx 0.764 \text{ m/s}

    The initial velocity is 0.764 m/s\boxed{0.764 \text{ m/s}}.

  3. Find the general expression for acceleration (aa).

    Acceleration is the first derivative of velocity with respect to time.

    a=dvdt=ddt[Aωcos⁡(ωt+ϕ)]a = \frac{dv}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt} [A\omega \cos(\omega t + \phi)] a=−Aω2sin⁡(ωt+ϕ)a = -A\omega^2 \sin(\omega t + \phi)

    Substitute the values:

    a=−(4 m)(0.2 rad/s)2sin⁡(0.2t+0.3)a = -(4 \text{ m})(0.2 \text{ rad/s})^2 \sin(0.2t + 0.3) a=−4×0.04sin⁡(0.2t+0.3) m/s2a = -4 \times 0.04 \sin(0.2t + 0.3) \text{ m/s}^2 a=−0.16sin⁡(0.2t+0.3) m/s2a = -0.16 \sin(0.2t + 0.3) \text{ m/s}^2
  4. Calculate the initial acceleration (a0a_0) at t=0t=0.

    a0=−0.16sin⁡(0.2(0)+0.3)a_0 = -0.16 \sin(0.2(0) + 0.3) a0=−0.16sin⁡(0.3) m/s2a_0 = -0.16 \sin(0.3) \text{ m/s}^2

    Using sin⁡(0.3 rad)≈0.2955\sin(0.3 \text{ rad}) \approx 0.2955:

    a0≈−0.16×0.2955 m/s2a_0 \approx -0.16 \times 0.2955 \text{ m/s}^2 a0≈−0.0473 m/s2a_0 \approx -0.0473 \text{ m/s}^2

    The initial acceleration is −0.0473 m/s2\boxed{-0.0473 \text{ m/s}^2}.

Part iii· 2 steps

Calculate the maximum velocity and acceleration.

  1. Calculate the maximum velocity (vmaxv_{max}).

    The maximum velocity occurs when cos⁡(ωt+ϕ)=±1\cos(\omega t + \phi) = \pm 1.

    vmax=Aωv_{max} = A\omega vmax=(4 m)(0.2 rad/s)v_{max} = (4 \text{ m})(0.2 \text{ rad/s}) vmax=0.8 m/sv_{max} = 0.8 \text{ m/s}

    The maximum velocity is 0.8 m/s\boxed{0.8 \text{ m/s}}.

  2. Calculate the maximum acceleration (amaxa_{max}).

    The maximum acceleration occurs when sin⁡(ωt+ϕ)=±1\sin(\omega t + \phi) = \pm 1.

    amax=Aω2a_{max} = A\omega^2 amax=(4 m)(0.2 rad/s)2a_{max} = (4 \text{ m})(0.2 \text{ rad/s})^2 amax=4×0.04 m/s2a_{max} = 4 \times 0.04 \text{ m/s}^2 amax=0.16 m/s2a_{max} = 0.16 \text{ m/s}^2

    The maximum acceleration is 0.16 m/s2\boxed{0.16 \text{ m/s}^2}.
