Question
An object in simple harmonic motion has position function $s(t),$ in inches, from an equilibrium point as follows, where $t$ is time in seconds.$$s(t)=5 \cos 2 t$$What is the frequency?
Step 1
The function $s(t)=5 \cos 2t$ is in the form of $s(t)=A \cos(\omega t)$, where $A$ is the amplitude and $\omega$ is the angular frequency. Show more…
