Draw a graph of two sinusoidal waves of the same frequency but with a phase difference of \(90^{\circ}\). d. Identify which wave is ahead in phase. e. Do the same for two waves that differ in phase by \(45^{\circ}\).

Problem 8

Describe physically the relationship between the motions of two pendula whose oscillations a. are in phase b. are out of phase c. differ in phase by \(90^{\circ}\)

Problem 9

A mass is suspended on an ideal spring. It is lifted up \(5 \mathrm{~cm}\) and released from rest at \(t=0\), executing simple harmonic motion with a period of 1 s. Draw a graph of the motion beginning at \(t=0\) and including two full periods of the oscillation. Assume that the equilibrium position for the weight on the spring at rest is \(x=0\), and that up is positive.
