Understand the signals, calculate the response, read the plots, then try two sketches.

Q1 · Read the two sine waves

r(t) = 3 sin(2t), yss(t) = 1.5 sin(2t − π/4)

Identify amplitude, angular frequency, period, and phase. Then state what changed between input and output.

Formulas for this practice

r(t) = R sin(ωt)   ·   T = 2π/ω

yₛₛ(t) = Y sin(ωt + φ)   ·   Y = R|G(iω)|   ·   φ = ∠G(iω)

Find G(iω) by substituting s = iω.   |a + ib| = √(a² + b²)

∠(a + ib) = tan⁻¹(b/a) for a > 0.   ∠(z₁/z₂) = ∠z₁ − ∠z₂

Step 1 of 6

Read the input

Match r(t) to R sin(ωt). Which number sets the height, and which number sets the rate of oscillation?

— Input r(t)— Output yss(t)

Useful formulas

r(t) = R sin(ωt)

yss(t) = Y sin(ωt + φ)

T = 2π/ω 180° = π rad

Y = R |G(iω)| φ = ∠G(iω)

|G(iω)| = Y/R
