Data taken from Pg 359 #78

A suction cup tipped arrow is secured vertically to the outer edge of a turntable designed for playing LP phonograph
records. A motion detector is situated 60 cm away from the turntable and measures the distance to the arrow as it
revolves around the turntable. The table below shows the distance d as a function of time during the first 4
seconds.

Manually approximate a model for this data using sine.

Use your ti-84 or Desmos to create a model for this data.
Provide the Domain, Range, Amplitude and Period for both part a and b
What is the approximate size of the turntable? This corresponds to what aspect of the graph? Is it the same for
both models?
e. How fast is turntable rotating in Radians per second?
f. If the suction cup was released at 3.6 seconds how fast would it be traveling in meters per second? What
direction would it be traveling with respect to the motion detector?
