8. 4.5 Harmonic Motion The position of a point oscillating about an equilibrium Position at time t is modeled by either S(t) = a cos t or S(t) = a sin t Where a and  are constants with  > 0. Amplitude of motion is | a | Period is 2/  Frequency is /2  oscillations per unit of time • Example: An object attached to a coiled spring is pulled down 5 in • from equilibrium position and released. The time for 1 complete oscillation is 4 sec. • Give an equation that models the position of the object at time t • Time of object release is: t = 0 and distance is then 5 in below equilibrium • so, S(0) = -5 and we use: S(t) = cos t. Period = 4 sec  2/  = 4   = / 2 • So, S(t) = -5 cos (/ 2)t • (b) Determine the position at t = 1.5 sec: S(1.5) = -5 cos (/ 2)(1.5) = 3.54 in.
