    A. Period (T) = 0.25rad/s

    B. Frequency (f) = 4.0hz

    C. Amplitude (A) = 5.2cm

    D. Time (t) = 0.6256secs

    Explanation:

    A. Firstly, we Compare the equation

    x = (5.2 cm) sin (8.0π t)

    with

    x=Asin (ωt) (General equation)

    Then

    ω = 2πt

    => T=2π / ω =

    = 2 π/8.0π=0.25rad/s

    B. frequency (f) = 1/T

    = 1/0.25

    = 4.0hz

    C. A = 5.2 cm by comparison with the general equation.

    D. x = Asin (ωt)

    2.6 = 5.2sin (8.0π t)

    sin (8.0π t) =

    2.6/5.1 = 0.5098

    (8.0π t) = sin⁻¹0.5098 = 30.650

    t = 30.650/8.0π

    t = 0.6256secs
