- SteamBoat Problem Mark Twain sat on the deck of a river steamboat. As the paddle wheel turned, a point on the paddle blade moved so that its distance, d, from the water's surface was a sinusoidal function of time. When Twain's stopwatch read 1 seconds, the point was at its highest, 18 feet above the water's surface. The wheel's diameter was 20 feet, and it completed a revolution every 9.5 seconds.

- 2) The velocity of a vibrating object changes as a function of time as v = - (0.6) cos[(2πs¯¹)t]. Represent this motion with a velocity-time and position-time graph Scientific Abilities Is able to construct new representations from previous representations Missing No attempt is made to construct a different representation. Inadequate Representations are attempted but use incorrect information or the representation does not agree with the information used. Needs Improvement Representations are created without mistakes, but there is information missing, i.e. labels, variables. Adequate Representations are constructed with all given (or understood) information and contain no major flaws. Represent this process with an energy bar chart for all key moments in time.

Sketch the graph of this function for 0 <= t <= 0.01. Frequency With simple harmonic motion, the reciprocal of the period is called the fre-quency. The frequency, given by f = 1/periodrepresents the number of cycles (or oscillations) that are completed per unit time. The unitsused to describe frequency are Hertz, where 1 Hz = 1 cycle per second.arrow_forward• For the harmonic wave crosses the x-axis then (x) =0 ... Why? State this. H.W.1arrow_forward
