Modeling Periodic Phenomena Portfolio


Worksheet
Directions: Use this worksheet to record your answers to the questions or
problems for the Modeling Periodic Phenomena Portfolio. When you are finished,
save this worksheet with your answers and submit it for a portfolio grade.

Where indicated, draw figures on a blank sheet of paper or on a sheet of graph paper.
Be sure to label each sheet so that your teacher knows which answer goes with which
question. You can scan these figures and submit them as individual documents with
your portfolio worksheet, or you can take pictures of them and insert the pictures on
the portfolio worksheet.

Question 1

Cheryl’s cousin is about to embark on a 50-mile bike ride. Cheryl draws a little heart
on the front wheel of her cousin’s bike for good luck.

When Cheryl’s cousin starts riding, the heart goes up before coming back down and
hitting the pavement. The diameter of the wheel is [choose a number between 20 –
27.5] inches. Cheryl’s cousin rides at a steady pace and the wheel makes a
frequency of [choose a number between 60 – 80] revolutions per minute. Find the
equation that models the height of the heart in inches as a function of time (x) in
minutes.
A. Make a list of the given information. Choose two numbers as indicated in the
problem.
Let:
Diameter be 24 inch,
frequency be 70 rpm

B. Make sense of the problem. On graph paper, sketch a graph that shows the
height of the heart in inches over time in minutes after a few revolutions and
then calculate the frequency. Do not worry about scaling the
x-axis, refer back to the graph on page 3. Note that electronic graphing is
not always necessary nor successful.
C. Decide whether you will write an equation that involves sine or cosine. Explain
your decision.

D. Persevere in solving the problem. Use your sketch of the graph along with the
given information to determine the values of a, b, c, and d. Explain how you
determined each value.

E. Write the equation that models the scenario using the values of a, b, c, and d.
Question 2

A. Predict the height of the heart exactly 30 seconds into the ride. Use your
equation from Question 1. Show your work.

B. Predict the height of the heart exactly 5 minutes into the ride. Use your
equation from Question 1. Show your work.

When you are ready to submit your portfolio, be sure to include all of these items:
• the completed Modeling Periodic Phenomena Portfolio worksheet
• a rough sketch of a graph that shows the height of the heart in inches over
time in minutes
