If the oscillation of a particle is represented with respect to time, the graph that we get is a​

Answer:

Are you amazed yet? In the angular motion section, we saw some pretty great uses of tangent (for finding the angle of a vector) and sine and cosine (for converting from polar to Cartesian coordinates). We could stop right here and be satisfied. But we’re not going to. This is only the beginning. What sine and cosine can do for you goes beyond mathematical formulas and right triangles.

Let’s take a look at a graph of the sine function, where y = sine(x)

You’ll notice that the output of the sine function is a smooth curve alternating between –1 and 1. This type of a behavior is known as oscillation, a periodic movement between two points. Plucking a guitar string, swinging a pendulum, bouncing on a pogo stick—these are all examples of oscillating motion.

And so we happily discover that we can simulate oscillation in a ProcessingJS program by assigning the output of the sine function to an object’s location. Note that this will follow the same methodology we applied to Perlin noise in the noise section.

Let’s begin with a really basic scenario. We want a circle to oscillate from the left side to the right side of our canvas.Explanation:
