Last question: pleaseee help :/

The displacement of a mass suspended on a spring is modeled by the function y = 3sin(4)(pi)(t), where y is measured in inches and t in seconds. The amplitude, period, and frequency of the motion of the mass are given by

A. amplitude = 2, period = 2, and frequency =
B. amplitude = 4, period = 2, and frequency = 1
C. amplitude = 3, period = , and frequency = 4
D. amplitude = 3, period = , and frequency = 2

Answer:

The amplitude is 3, the time period is 0.5 and the frequency is 2.

D is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,


y = 3 sin(4)(\pi)(t)

We know that,

The general equation of the S.H.M


y = A\ sin\omega\ t

Where, y = displacement

A = amplitude

According to equation,

Amplitude = 3

The frequency is

Frequency
\omega = 2\pi f


4\pi=2\pi f


f = 2

The time period is reciprocal of frequency.


T = (1)/(f)


T =(1)/(2)


T = 0.5

Hence, The amplitude is 3, the time period is 0.5 and the frequency is 2.

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. The amplitude, period, and frequency of the motion of the mass are given by amplitude = 3, period = , and frequency = 2. The standard form of this model would be as follows:

y = A sin Bx

where A is the amplitude and 2pi/B is the period. Frequency is the reciprocal of the period. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
