High School Laplace Transform for Cosine Function: Can You Obtain a Transfer Function?

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on determining if the equation d2y(t)/dt2 = k⋅cos(Φ)⋅y(t) can be transformed using the Laplace method to obtain a transfer function. Participants suggest consulting a table of Laplace transforms to find relevant information. The main inquiry revolves around the conditions necessary for the equation to be considered "Laplaceable." Clarification is sought on any missing elements that could facilitate this transformation. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the relationship between the equation and Laplace transforms for system analysis.

Hi Guys,

I have an equation I'm trying to work out if it 'Laplaceable'?
As in, can I get a transfer function?

d2y(t)/dt2 = k⋅cos(Φ)⋅y(t)

Thread 'Does acceleration affect impact energy vs constant velocity?'

I do not have a good working knowledge of physics yet. I tried to piece this together but after researching this, I couldn’t figure out the correct laws of physics to combine to develop a formula to answer this question. Ex. 1 - A moving object impacts a static object at a constant velocity. Ex. 2 - A moving object impacts a static object at the same velocity but is accelerating at the moment of impact. Assuming the mass of the objects is the same and the velocity at the moment of impact...
