Homework Statement
An air-track glider attached to a spring oscillates with a period of 1.50 s. At t=0s the glider is 4.50 cm left of the equilibrium position and moving to the right at 32.6 cm/s.find the phase constant.
Homework Equations
w=2pi/t=2pi/1.5=4.189
x=Acos(wt+phi)
v=-awsin(wt+phi)
The Attempt at a Solution
i tried a systems of equations approach with time equals 0, so the w part drops out, and i keep getting the wrong answer. is this the right approach?
