Question 50

Multiple Choice

 A buoy oscillates in simple harmonic motion y=Acos at as waves move past \text { A buoy oscillates in simple harmonic motion } y = A \cos \text { at as waves move past } it. The buoy moves a total of 3.53.5 feet (vertically) between its low point and its high point. It returns to its high point every 14 seconds. Write an equation describing the motion of the buoy if it is at its high point at t=0t = 0 .


A) y=3.5cosπ7ty = 3.5 \cos \frac { \pi } { 7 } t
B) y=1.75cos7πty = 1.75 \cos 7 \pi t
C) y=1.75cosπ14ty = 1.75 \cos \frac { \pi } { 14 } t
D) y=1.75cosπ7ty = 1.75 \cos \frac { \pi } { 7 } t
E) y=3.5cos14πty = 3.5 \cos 14 \pi t
