Application
1. Mike Tyson was training for his fight and he was jabbing his punching bag. With Tyson’s raw
poser, the punching bag reached a maximum and minimum horizontal distance of 75cm.
One full cycle of the swinging punching bag had occurred every 2.5 seconds. Assume that
the bag is at the equilibrium position at t = 0 sec. [8 A]
a) What is the equation of a cosine function?
b) Graph the function. Fully label the axes.
c) Where would the bag be at 6.2 seconds?

2. The TREC Windshare turbine at the Exhibition Place, Toronto, has the following specifications:
[8 A]
90 metres high to the tip of the blade
Rotor diameter 52 metres
Normal rotation speed 30 rpm
(a) Using the information provided above, draw a graph which
represents 2 complete cycles for a point at the tip of a blade
on the wind turbine. Remember to fully label your axes.
(b) Write either a cosine or sine function that models the rotating motion of the blades.
