    This document provides the solution to a differential equation modeling a physical system. It first multiplies the differential equation by mass and rewrites it in terms of velocity and position. Integrating this equation shows that after a quarter period, the position will be zero. For a special case where the mass is 1 and the spring constant is 4, the position as a function of time is given by a trigonometric formula involving sine and cosine.

    Challenge Task 2 solution


    Part 1. The differential equation of the system: Multiply by Rewrite as: [ and therefore . Also, because initially y is at maximum, has to be negative: Rearrange equation and integrate: At , then after a quarter of will be . ] : Use

    Part 2 For a special case when : ( )| (

    Integrate with respect to time:

    If at time a period has passed
