Velocity and height at each time interval

AI Thread Summary
To calculate velocity and height at specified time intervals (1, 2, and 3 seconds), the relevant equation for height is y(t) = equiheight + Amplitude*sin(angfre*t + phaseshift), where the equilibrium height is 3 meters, amplitude is 0.2, angular frequency is 48 rad/s, and phase shift is 60 degrees. The discussion emphasizes the need to substitute the given values into the height equation to find the height at each time interval. For velocity, participants suggest using the definition of velocity and mention that Euler's algorithm is not applicable in this context. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding the relationship between position and velocity to solve the problem effectively.

Homework Statement



I want to calculate velocity and height at each time interval
Time intervals: 1,2,3 (seconds)

equilibrium height = 3 meters
amplitude = 0.2
angular frequency = 48 rad/s
phase shift = 60


Homework Equations



y(t) = equiheight + Amplitude*sin(angfre*t + phaseshift)

The Attempt at a Solution



I have no idea about where to start. Please help.

Hello MM, and welcome to PF.
You could start with the height, for which you have presented a relevant equation. Nothing stops you from filling in equiheight, Amplitude, angfre, t and phaseshift, right ?
Then, for v you will need another equiation. No idea whatsoever ?

Exactly. I know what you are saying about plugging everything in. What if we use Euler's algorithm to find the answer ? Any ideas about that ?
 
No can do: In the first place it isn't mentioned under 2. Homework Equations . :smile:
And if it were, why on Earth would it belong there ?

Do you know what to do to determine the velocity when an expression for the position is given ?
(Hint: consider the definition of velocity)

Euler's algorithm is for numerical integration.

[edit] And: if you "know what you are saying about plugging everything in", please show it, just to be sure things go alright...
 
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Struggling to make relation between elastic force and height'
Hello guys this is what I tried so far. I used the UTS to calculate the force it needs when the rope tears. My idea was to make a relationship/ function that would give me the force depending on height. Yeah i couldnt find a way to solve it. I also thought about how I could use hooks law (how it was given to me in my script) with the thought of instead of having two part of a rope id have one singular rope from the middle to the top where I could find the difference in height. But the...
