What does a sine curve represent in physics?

In physics, a sine curve is used to represent periodic phenomena such as simple harmonic motion or alternating current. It shows how a quantity varies sinusoidally with time or distance. The amplitude, frequency, and phase of the sine curve provide important information about the behavior of the system being studied.


What is the connection between trigonometry ratios and sound waves?

Sound waves are transmitted through a medium as variations in the pressure of the medium. If the variation is plotted as a function of distance (or time), they will generate a sine curve (the cosine curve is the same as a sine curve with a phase shift). In practise, the sine curve is damped: the amplitude (or height) of the oscillations gradually decrease over time or distance, because of attenuation.


Sine wave means what?

The sine wave is also called a sinusoid is a mathematical curve that describes the smooth repetitive oscillation.


How do you convert a sine curve function to a cosine curve function?

One way is to shift it to the left by a quarter of the period.


What happens to a sine curve if a negative constant c is added to the variable x?

The curve is shifted to the right by c.


If you are given the equation of an normal sine curve how would you determine its period?

a normal sine curve exists with the formula Asin(Bx+C)+D. The formula to derive a phase shift would be such: 2pi/B (for whatever value B exists at). Thus, for a normal sine curve (sin(x) we would get 2pi/1, and arrive at 2pi for the period.

How do you find amplitude in trigonometry?

The amplitude of a sine (or cosine) curve is the difference between the maximum and minimum values of the curve, measured over a whole cycle.


Why do sin and cos differ by one half pie?

In math, the sine and cosine functions are one of the main trigonometric functions. All other trigonometric function can be specified within the expressions of them. The sine and cosine functions are exactly related and can be articulated within conditions of every other. Let us consider A be the angle sine can be identified as the ratio of the side opposite near to the angle toward the hypotenuse. Cosine of an angle is the ratio of the side adjacent to the angle A to the hypotenuse.
