With the use of a phase shift, the position of an object may bemodeled as a cosine or sine function (as a function of time). Ifgiven the option, which function would you choose (Note: this is anopen-ended question; there is no wrong answer; just be sure toexplain your choice please)? Assuming zero phase shift, if you areusing a sine function to model the position of an object, what arethe initial conditions of the oscillator---that is, the initialposition, velocity, and acceleration of the oscillator at t=0? Howabout if you use a cosine function to model the position?
