Distance between device and appliance (cm) 1.5 0.5 1 Bolt Machine Motion 2 Time (s) 3 3. The motion of an automated device for attaching bolts to a household appliance on an assembly line can be modelled by the graph shown at the left. a) What is the period of one complete cycle? b) What is the maximum distance between the device and the appliance? c) What is the range of this function? d) If the device can run for five complete cycles only before it must be turned off, determine the domain of the function. e) Determine the equation of the axis. f) Determine the amplitude. g) There are several parts to each complete cycle of the graph. Explain what each part could mean in the context of "attaching the bolt."

An object suspended from a spring is oscillating up and down. The distance from the high point to the low point is 30 cm, and the object takes 4 seconds to complete 5 cycles. For the first few cycles, the distance from the mean position, d(t) centimetres, with respect to the time, t seconds, is modelled by a sine function. a) Sketch a graph of the function with important values labelled for two cycles. b) Write an equation that describes the distance of the object from its mean position as a function of time.

A machine has a part that undergoes simple harmonic motion following the equation y(t) = A cos(wt + phi), where A = 5.64 cm, w = 34.0 rad/s and phi = pi/3 rad. a. What is the amplitude of this oscillation? b. What is the period of oscillation? c. How much time must pass until the position first goes through zero? At time t = 5.49 s, d. What is the position? e. What is the velocity? f. What is the acceleration? To continue, please enter the period of oscillation in units of ms.
