    Circular Motion Problem: Downy Ball in Rotating Washing Machine

    Homework Statement A Downy ball which can be modeled as a sealed, spherical shell of diameter d is rotating with constant angular velocity in a clothes washing machine. Assume that the Downy ball is confined circular path that undergoes no rotations in a plane perpendicular to the angular...

    How to Solve for Amplitude and Phase Constant in an Oscillation Problem?

    The term w*t is no longer present b/c it was a function of time, and at the instance when t =0 or time = 0sec, w * t or (2pi/period) *t became 0. I then solved for A (Amplitude) from the first equation then substituted that into the second eqaution. If I'm not mistaken, isn't that the way to...

    How to Solve for Amplitude and Phase Constant in an Oscillation Problem?

    It appears that this is close to the right answer, but I'm missing some "additive constant". I probably posted this in the wrong section just by judging by the number of responses on this. If someone would kindly help me, I'd really appreciate it. :frown:

    How to Solve for Amplitude and Phase Constant in an Oscillation Problem?

    I'm not quite sure on what I did wrong. Can anyone please help me with this? Homework Statement An air-track glider attached to a spring oscillates with a period of 1.50sec . At the glider is 4.60cm left of the equilibrium position and moving to the right at 33.4cm/s. What is the...
