Human sleep/awake cycles at three different developmental stages are illustrated in the graphs below. The parts of the graph that lie above the horizontal axis represent times when the person is awake, while those parts below the axis represent times when the person is asleep.
a. Describe the period for one graph. Explain your reasoning. Use the appropriate units.
b. Which of these graphs appears to be the closest to a simple harmonic function? Explain your reasoning.

What does simple harmonic motion mean to you?

anonymous · Answer

For part a)  look at the top graph...the period means the time it takes for the graph to do one complete cycle and end back at the same point.  How long does it take the first graph to get back to the same point it started at?

anonymous · Answer

12 hours

anonymous · Answer

It looks to me that it goes from 6am to 12am...then it is back at the max...do you see that?

anonymous · Answer

not really can you explain?:/
