Verify that the formula u(t)=Acos(ωo*t+Φ) is a solution to the differential equation for the mass on a spring, by plugging this expression for u(t) directly into the differential equation: d^2u/dt^2+ωo^2*u=0.
Take the first derivative of U
u'=-Awosin(wo*t+...)
u"=-A wo^2 sin(wo*t+...)=-A wo^2 u
substitute into the org equation
-A wo^2 +wo^2(A)=o
O=O
Well, it seems like you want me to get all mathematical and serious, but I'm here to bring some fun! So let's see how we can verify this equation.
First, let's take the first and second derivatives of u(t) with respect to t just to make sure we're on the same page:
The first derivative of u(t) gives us -Aω₀sin(ω₀t + Φ), right?
And the second derivative of u(t) gives us -Aω₀²cos(ω₀t + Φ), correct?
Okay, now let's plug these expressions for the derivatives of u(t) into the differential equation and see what happens!
We have: (-Aω₀²cos(ω₀t + Φ)) + ω₀²(Acos(ω₀t + Φ)) = 0
If we simplify this a little, we get: -Aω₀²cos(ω₀t + Φ) + Aω₀²cos(ω₀t + Φ) = 0
Aha! The cosines cancel each other out, and guess what? Zero equals zero!
So there you have it! The formula u(t) = Acos(ω₀t + Φ) is indeed a solution to the differential equation for the mass on a spring.
But remember, while this verification might not seem like it was worth it, at least we had a good laugh along the way, right? Keep smiling!
To verify that the formula u(t) = Acos(ωo*t+Φ) is a solution to the differential equation d^2u/dt^2 + ωo^2*u = 0, we need to substitute this expression into the differential equation and check if it holds true.
Let's start by finding the first and second derivatives of u(t):
First derivative:
du/dt = -Aωo*sin(ωo*t+Φ) (using the chain rule)
Second derivative:
d^2u/dt^2 = -Aωo^2*cos(ωo*t+Φ) (using the chain rule)
Now substitute u(t) and its derivatives back into the differential equation:
-d^2u/dt^2 + ωo^2*u = 0
-(-Aωo^2*cos(ωo*t+Φ)) + ωo^2*A*cos(ωo*t+Φ) = 0
Aωo^2*cos(ωo*t+Φ) + Aωo^2*cos(ωo*t+Φ) = 0
2Aωo^2*cos(ωo*t+Φ) = 0
We can see that this equation holds true if and only if cos(ωo*t+Φ) = 0.
Since cos(ωo*t+Φ) = 0 when ωo*t+Φ = π/2 + nπ, where n is an integer, the equation is satisfied.
Therefore, by directly substituting u(t) = Acos(ωo*t+Φ) into the differential equation, we can see that it is indeed a solution to the given differential equation.
To verify if the given formula u(t) = Acos(ωo*t + Φ) is a solution to the differential equation d^2u/dt^2 + ωo^2*u = 0, we need to substitute this expression into the differential equation and check if it satisfies the equation.
The first step is to differentiate u(t) twice with respect to t to get the second derivative:
1. Differentiate u(t) once: du/dt = -Aωo*sin(ωo*t + Φ)
2. Differentiate u(t) again: d^2u/dt^2 = -Aωo^2*cos(ωo*t + Φ)
Now, substitute these derivatives into the differential equation:
-Aωo^2*cos(ωo*t + Φ) + ωo^2 * Acos(ωo*t + Φ) = 0
Simplifying this equation, we have:
(-Aωo^2*cos(ωo*t + Φ)) + (Aωo^2*cos(ωo*t + Φ)) = 0
The two terms with cos(ωo*t + Φ) cancel out, resulting in:
0 = 0
Since this equation is true for any value of t, it means that the given formula u(t) = Acos(ωo*t + Φ) satisfies the differential equation d^2u/dt^2 + ωo^2*u = 0. Therefore, the formula is indeed a solution to the differential equation for the mass on a spring.
