Diving Board Dynamics: Unveiling the Secrets of Oscillation
After a swimmer jumps from a diving board, the end of the board will oscillate (bounce up and down). This oscillation can be modeled by the trigonometric function [latex]s(t)=-15\cos{t}[/latex] centimeters [latex]t[/latex] seconds after the jump.
