3. Define a sinusoidal wave, plot a sinusoidal wave and its characteristic parameters, and
provide an example in everyday life.
● A sine wave is a mathematical curve that describes a smooth, repetitive oscillation.
● Parameters:
Amplitude: Maximum displacement from the equilibrium position.
Wavelength: Distance between two successive points on a wave that are in phase.
Frequency: Number of cycles per unit of time.
● Example: The vibration of a guitar string generates a sine wave.
The frequency in sine waves refers to the number of cycles that the wave completes in a unit
of time. It is measured in Hertz (Hz), where 1 Hz is equal to one cycle per second.
5. Define the amplitude of a wave and its importance in characterizing the wave.
The amplitude is the distance x of the mass from the equilibrium point at any time is called
the displacement. The maximum displacement, or greatest distance from the equilibrium
point, is called the amplitude. The amplitude of a wave is essential to understand its behavior,
determining aspects such as intensity, the energy transported and the associated sensory
perception.
Wavelength (λ) and frequency (f) are inversely related in sine waves. The product of the
wavelength and the frequency is equal to the speed of the wave:
7. Explain angular frequency and its role in describing sinusoidal waves
Angular frequency (ω=Omega) It is a measure of how fast a sine wave oscillates in radians
per unit time. It is related to the frequency (𝑓) for the equation:
ω = 2πf

And therefore:: 𝛚 = = 𝟐𝛑𝐟 (the units are rad/s)

Sinusoidal waves as it facilitates the connection between frequency and time, aids in
expressing phase relationships, and is integral to mathematical representations of oscillatory
phenomena.

9. State Hooke's Law and explain its importance in the study of elastic systems.
Hooke's Law states that the force necessary to stretch or compress a spring by a distance
(𝑥) from its natural length is directly proportional to (𝑥). Mathematically, it is expressed as:
𝑭 = −𝒌𝒙
Where (𝐹) is the force, (𝑘) is the spring constant and (𝑥) is the displacement.
Hooke's Law is fundamental in the study of elastic systems, providing a simple and linear
relationship between applied force, deformation, and material stiffness.
10. Describe elastic potential energy and how it relates to Hooke's Law.
Elastic potential energy(𝑃𝐸𝑒𝑙𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑐) is the energy stored in a deformed elastic object, such
as a spring. It is calculated as:
