At time t0 = 0 the mass happens to be at y0 = 4.05 cm and moving upward at velocity v0 = +4.12 m/s. (mind the units! ) calculate the amplitude a of the oscillating mass. answer in units of cm.

A = 5.727 cm

Explanation:

at time t = 0s the displacement of mass is 4.05 cm and velocity 4.12 m/s

we know that velcoity for simple harmonic motion is given as

W KNOW THAT

Therefore we  get

A = 5.727 cm

as we know our atmosphere or air have different levels. every level has other gasses, and every gas has another permeability. when the light comes from lower permeability to higher permeability, it changes its direction. so that means that when the light comes from the moon to the earth, it changes it's direction many more times. it basically means that the shape of the light part of the moon is changed on the earth.
