plug in t, and you have it.
To find the oscillator's position, velocity, and acceleration at each of the given times, we can use the equations of motion for a simple harmonic oscillator.
The equation for the position of a simple harmonic oscillator is given by x(t) = A * sin(ωt + φ), where A is the amplitude, ω is the angular frequency, t is the time, and φ is the phase constant.
Given the velocity function vy(t) = (0.86 m/s)sin(11t - 5.55), we can identify that the angular frequency is ω = 11 rad/s. To find the amplitude and phase constant, we need additional information.
Let's calculate the position, velocity, and acceleration at each of the given times.
a) t = 0s:
At t = 0s, the position is x(0) = A * sin(ω * 0 + φ) = A * sin(φ).
We don't have the value of the phase constant φ, so we cannot determine the position without more information.
b) t = 0.5s:
At t = 0.5s, the position is x(0.5) = A * sin(ω * 0.5 + φ) = A * sin(0.5ω + φ).
Similarly, we cannot determine the position without the exact values of the amplitude A and the phase constant φ.
c) t = 2s:
At t = 2s, the position is x(2) = A * sin(ω * 2 + φ) = A * sin(2ω + φ).
Again, we cannot determine the position without knowing the values of A and φ.
To find the velocity and acceleration at each of the given times, we need to differentiate the position equation with respect to time.
The velocity is given by v(t) = dx(t)/dt = A * ω * cos(ωt + φ).
The acceleration is given by a(t) = dv(t)/dt = -A * ω^2 * sin(ωt + φ).
Using the provided velocity function vy(t) = (0.86 m/s)sin(11t - 5.55), given that ω = 11 rad/s, we can find the value of the amplitude A.
The maximum value of sin(ωt + φ) is 1, so vy(t) = A * 1 = A at its maximum.
From the given velocity function, we can identify that the amplitude A = 0.86 m/s.
Now, using this amplitude, we can determine the velocity and acceleration at each of the given times.
a) t = 0s:
At t = 0s, the velocity is v(0) = A * ω * cos(ω * 0 + φ) = 0.86 m/s * 11 rad/s * cos(φ).
We cannot determine the exact value of the velocity without knowledge of the phase constant φ.
Similarly, we cannot find the acceleration without the phase constant φ.
b) t = 0.5s:
At t = 0.5s, the velocity is v(0.5) = A * ω * cos(ω * 0.5 + φ) = 0.86 m/s * 11 rad/s * cos(0.5ω + φ).
Again, we need the value of φ to calculate the exact velocity.
The same applies to finding the acceleration at t = 0.5s.
c) t = 2s:
At t = 2s, the velocity is v(2) = A * ω * cos(ω * 2 + φ) = 0.86 m/s * 11 rad/s * cos(2ω + φ).
To calculate the velocity, we need to know the value of φ.
Similarly, we cannot determine the acceleration at t = 2s without the phase constant.
In conclusion, without knowing the phase constant φ, we cannot calculate the position, velocity, and acceleration at the given times for the simple harmonic oscillator.
