HWQ 11/14 • A plane is 160 miles north and 85 miles east of an airport. The pilot wants to fly directly to the airport. What bearing should be taken? 4.8 Applications and Models
Terminology • Harmonic Motion – Simple vibration, oscillation, rotation, or wave motion. It can be described using the sine and cosine functions. • Displacement – Distance from equilibrium. 4.8 Applications and Models
Simple Harmonic Motion • A point that moves on a coordinate line is in simple harmonic motion if its distance d from the origin at time t is given by where a and ω are real numbers (ω>0) and frequency is number of cycles per unit of time. 4.8 Applications and Models

Example – Simple Harmonic Motion • A weight attached to the end of a spring is pulled down 5 cm below its equilibrium point and released. It takes 4 seconds to complete one cycle of moving from 5 cm below the equilibrium point to 5 cm above the equilibrium point and then returning to its low point. • Find the sinusoidal function that best represents the motion of the moving weight. • Find the position of the weight 9 seconds after it is released.
You Try – Simple Harmonic Motion • A buoy oscillates in simple harmonic motion as waves go past. At a given time it is noted that the buoy moves a total of 6 feet from its low point to its high point, returning to its high point every 15 seconds. • Write a sinusoidal function that describes the motion of the buoy if it is at the high point at t=0. • Find the position of the buoy 10 seconds after it is released.
