(a) 7.392cm

(b) -15.32 cm/s

(c) -184cm/s²

(d) 0.4πs and 8.00cm

The general equation of a simple harmonic motion (SHM) is given by;

x(t) = A cos (wt + Φ)        --------------(i)

Where;

x(t) = position of the body at a given time t

A =  amplitude or maximum displacement during oscillation

w = angular velocity

t = time

Φ = phase constant.

Given from question:

x(t) = 8.00 cos (5t + π / 8)         ---------------(ii)

(a) At time t = 0;

The position, x(t), of the body (piston) is given by substituting the value of t = 0 into equation (ii) as follows;

x(0) = 8.00 cos (5(0) + π / 8)

x(0) = 8.00 cos (π /8)

x(0) = 8.00 x 0.924

x(0) = 7.392 cm

Therefore, the position of the piston at time t = 0 is 7.392cm

(b) To get the velocity, v(t), of the piston at t = 0, first differentiate equation (ii) with respect to t as follows;

v(t) =

v(t) =

v(t) = 8 (-5 sin (5t + π / 8))

v(t) = -40sin(5t + π / 8)     --------------------(iii)

Now, substitute t=0 into the equation as follows;

v(0) = -40 sin(5(0) + π / 8)

v(0) = -40 sin(π / 8)

v(0) = -40 x 0.383

v(0) = -15.32 cm/s

Therefore, the velocity of the piston at time t = 0 is -15.32 cm/s

(c) To find the acceleration a(t) of the piston at t = 0, first differentiate equation (iii), which is the velocity equation, with respect to t as follows;

a(t) =

a(t) =

a(t) = -200 cos (5t + π / 8)

Now, substitute t = 0 into the equation as follows;

a(0) = -200 cos (5(0) + π / 8)

a(0) = -200 cos (π / 8)

a(0) = -200 x 0.924

a(0) = -184.8 cm/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the piston at time t = 0 is -184cm/s²

(d) To find the period, T, first, let's compare equations (i) and (ii) as follows;

x(t) = A cos (wt + Φ)                   --------------(i)

x(t) = 8.00 cos (5t + π / 8)         ---------------(ii)

From these equations it can be deduced that;

Amplitude, A = 8.00cm

Angular velocity, w = 5 rads/s

But;

w =           [Where T = period of oscillation]

=> T =

=> T =

=> T = 0.4π s

Therefore, the period and amplitude of the piston's motion are respectively 0.4πs and 8.00cm

you cant move and you feel like someones pushing you down onto your bed it can feel like you want to get up but you just can't it can be extremely scary

a solenoid is created by wrapping a l = 90 m long wire around a hollow tube of diameter d = 4.5 cm.   the wire diameter is d = 0.9 mm.   the solenoid wire is then connected to a power supply so that a current of i = 9 a flows through the wire.

randomized variablesl = 90 m

d = 4.5 cm

d = 0.9 mm

i = 9 a                                          

write an expression for the number of turns, n, in the solenoid. you do not need to take into account the diameter of the wire in this calculation.

calculate the number of turns, n, in the solenoid.

write an expression for the length of the solenoid (l2) in terms of the diameter of the hollow tube d.
