Sinusoidal models: Ferris wheels, tides and daylight Problem set A Answers

Skills

    1. (a) \(h=-3\cos(30t)+3.5\)
    2. (b) 5 m
    1. (a) \(h=2.4\sin(72t)+5\)
    2. (b) 7.28 m
    1. (a) 1.29
    2. (b) 3.42

In context

    1. (a) \(h=-20\cos(60t)+23\)
    2. (b) 40.3 m
    3. (c) 2.32 minutes
    1. (a) \(D=2.4\sin(29.0t)+4.8\)
    2. (b) 6.84 m
    3. (c) 5.03 hours
    1. (a) \(T=-10\cos(30t)+12\)
    2. (b) 14.6 °C
    3. (c) 4.84 months
    4. (d) It repeats exactly every year. Real temperatures change from year to year.

Stretch

    1. (a) t = 7.14 and t = 11.5
    2. (b) 15.4 hours
    3. (c) The model repeats exactly every cycle. A real tide changes with the moon, the weather and the season.
