Q. An object moves in simple harmonic motion with amplitude 13cm13\,\text{cm} and period 0.25seconds0.25\,\text{seconds}. At time t=0secondst=0\,\text{seconds}, its displacement dd from rest is 0cm0\,\text{cm}, and initially it moves in a positive direction.\newlineGive the equation modeling the displacement dd as a function of time tt.\newlined=d= \square
  1. Equation for Simple Harmonic Motion: The general form of the equation for simple harmonic motion is d(t)=Asin(ωt+φ)d(t) = A \cdot \sin(\omega t + \varphi), where AA is the amplitude, ω\omega is the angular frequency, and φ\varphi is the phase shift.
  2. Given Amplitude: The amplitude AA is given as 1313 cm, so A=13A = 13.
  3. Calculate Angular Frequency: The period TT is given as 0.250.25 seconds. The angular frequency ω\omega is related to the period by the formula ω=2πT\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}.
  4. Calculate Phase Shift: Calculate the angular frequency: ω=2π0.25=8π\omega = \frac{2\pi}{0.25} = 8\pi.
  5. Plug Values into Equation: Since the object starts at rest and moves in a positive direction at t=0t=0, the phase shift φ\varphi is 00.
  6. Simplify Equation: Plug the values of AA, ω\omega, and φ\varphi into the general equation: d(t)=13×sin(8πt+0)d(t) = 13 \times \sin(8\pi t + 0).
  7. Simplify Equation: Plug the values of AA, ω\omega, and φ\varphi into the general equation: d(t)=13×sin(8πt+0)d(t) = 13 \times \sin(8\pi t + 0).Simplify the equation: d(t)=13×sin(8πt)d(t) = 13 \times \sin(8\pi t).
