Find the amplitude, period, frequency, and velocity amplitude for the motion of a particle whose distance from the origin is the given function.

s=2sin3tcos3t

Short Answer

Expert verified

The velocity amplitude of motion of a particle is 6.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

Distance s from the origin is the given functions=2sin3tcos3t

02

Concept of Periodic motion formula

Time Period (T): It is the time taken by the motion to repeat itself. So the unit of a time period is seconds.

Frequency (f) : It is defined as a number of times the motion is repeated in one second. The unit of frequency is Hz (Hertz).

Frequency is related to Time period as f= 1/T.

03

Calculation of the amplitude of motion of a particle

Following is the distance function:

s=2sin3tcos3ts=sin(2×3t)

Since, 2sinθcosθ=sin2θs=sin(6t)

Amplitude is the maximum value of distance from the mean position.

So, amplitude is 1 .

04

Calculation of the period of motion of a particle

The distance functions of the form.Asinωt

So,ω=6 .

Then, obtain values:

Period=2πω

Period=2π6

Period =π3

05

Calculation of the velocity amplitude of motion of a particle

The frequency is defined as the inverse of the period.

So,Frequency=1period .

Frequency=3π

s=sin6tdsdt=6cos6t

So, velocity amplitude is 6.
