Please watch our Sine Wave explanation video to better understand this video: https://youtu.be/OfuyQV4SN9c Learn the fundamentals of a Cosine Wave. It is extensively used in physics, engineering, mathematics, and countless other fields. A giant or Ferris wheel is used as an analogy to explain the concept. A cosine wave can be just visualized as the horizontal component of a simple circular motion. It's plotted as position vs time or angle as the giant wheel rotates. Sine and Cosine waves are fundamental to understanding Physics because they are components of a simple circular motion which occers frequenctly in nature High school and undergraduate physics, math, and other sciences may benefit from learning fundamentals of this very useful waveform The complement to the Sine wave is a Cosine wave which is thoroughly explained here (horizontal motion of the giant wheel) Appreciate your time and thank you for watching my videos! It would be great if you would hit the thumbs up button, subscribe, and share the video with somebody who might be interested in this topic. More videos to follow!
