Understanding Fourier Transforms

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on using the Fourier transform to analyze the function x(t) = A sin(w1t) + B cos(w2t) for its frequency response and spectrum graph. Participants emphasize the importance of showing work when asking for help and clarify that a frequency response typically relates to transfer functions in circuits. The conversation also prompts the user to identify the frequency components present in the time domain function. Understanding these components is crucial for accurately sketching the frequency domain representation. Overall, the thread highlights the need for clarity in defining terms and demonstrating effort in problem-solving.

Hi guys, can someone help me solve this.
Thanks.
I think that is with the Fourier transform.

You were asked to show your work when reposting this question. Please show more effort or this thread will also be deleted.

That said, what do you mean "frequency response" in the context of that equation? A frequency response is usually associated with the transfer function of a function block or circuit. Certainly you can sketch the frequency domain version of that time domain function, right? What are the two frequency components of that sketch?
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'

Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'

My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
