1a. The following diagram shows a ball attached to the end of a spring, which is suspended from a ceiling. [2 marks]
The height, h metres, of the ball above the ground at time t seconds after being released can be modelled by the function
h(t)= 0. 4 cos(πt)+1. 8 where t ≥ 0.
Find the height of the ball above the ground when it is released.
1b. Find the minimum height of the ball above the ground. [2 marks]
1c. Show that the ball takes 2 seconds to return to its initial height above the ground for the first time. [2 marks]
1d. For the first 2 seconds of its motion, determine the amount of time that the ball is less than 1. 8 + 0. 2√2 metres above the [5 marks]
ground.
Find cos θ.
4b. Find cos 2θ. [2 marks]
5. A Ferris wheel with diameter 110 metres rotates at a constant speed. The lowest point on the wheel is 10 metres above the [5 marks]
ground, as shown on the following diagram. P is a point on the wheel. The wheel starts moving with P at the lowest point and completes
The height, h metres, of P above the ground after t minutes is given by h(t) = a cos(bt) + c , where a, b, c ∈ R .
7a. The depth of water in a port is modelled by the function d(t) = p cos qt + 7.5 , for 0 ⩽ t ⩽ 12 , where t is the number of hours [2 marks]
7c. Use the model to find the depth of the water 10 hours after high tide. [2 marks]
