Question
Let , be a periodic function with
The following diagram shows the graph of .
There is a maximum point at A. The minimum value of is −13 .
A ball on a spring is attached to a fixed point O. The ball is then pulled down and released, so that it moves back and forth vertically.
The distance, d centimetres, of the centre of the ball from O at time t seconds, is given by
Find the coordinates of A.
For the graph of , write down the amplitude.
For the graph of , write down the period.
Hence, write in the form .
Find the maximum speed of the ball.
Find the first time when the ball’s speed is changing at a rate of 2 cm s−2.
