which equation can be used to model simple harmonic motion? A. d=asin(wt)+k B. d=acos(wt) C. d=acos [w(t+k)] D. d=sin(awt)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is k?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the funktion is A cos(Wt +Phi)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dont know I dont get it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Phi is the angle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well did you make a mistake in the question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no its like that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok then we have a problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if k is the angle then it should be a cos(wt+k)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so thats c?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c is a cos(wt+wk)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

w is 2Pi*f and so it cant be right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it can be a then can it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well it has to be "acos(wt+k)" everything else is wrong
