Many physical phenomena can be modeled with simple harmonic motion.

a spring-mass system
An object that moves on a coordinate
axis so that its distance from its rest
position at time is

The amplitude is |a|. 2The period is
The frequency is the number of oscillations per unit time. It is the reciprocal of the period.

cosd a tSimple harmonic motion can be expressed with either sine or cosine but since this object starts at 4 when t = 0, cosine makes sense. If you used sine, you'd have to use a phase shift to have a different value than 0 at t = 0.

An object attached to a coiled spring is pushed up a distance 4 units from its rest position and then released. Assuming that the motion is simple harmonic with period 2 seconds, write an equation that relates the displacement d of the object from its rest potion after t seconds. Assume that the positive direction of the motion is up.
If we knew the equation of motion for an object, we could determine some things about it.
The equation modeling the motion of an object is:
This negative tells us that after t = 0, it will be stretched down first

Since we know , we can find the period

This tells us that the motion will repeat
every seconds. 1.62

What is the frequency?
It is the reciprocal of the period so 2

This means in one second, it has completed .64 oscillations.

Often the motion of an object is affected by friction or other resistive forces. These slow the object or damp its motion.
The equation modeling an oscillating object with damping is:
damping factor
mass of the object

so this part wants to oscillate
but this part which multiplies the amplitude is going to zero

Notice the amplitude decreasing exponentially
When you push a button on your phone, the tone made is actually two tones of different frequencies added together.
To obtain the graph of the sum of two or more functions, we can simply
use the function property (f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)
So we'll find the value of each function at x and then add the values together

Let's find the graph of f(x) = 2 sin x + sin 2x
