If a mass m is placed at the end of a spring, and if the mass is pulled downward and released, the mass-spring system will begin to oscillate. The displacement y of the mass from its resting position is given by a function of the form y ( t ) = c 1 cos ω t + c 2 cos ω t (5) where ω is a constant that depend s on the spring and the mass. (See the figure below.) Show that the set of all functions described in (5) (with ω fixed and c 1 , c 2 arbitrary) is a vector space.

If a mass m is placed at the end of a spring, and if the mass is pulled downward and released, the mass-spring system will begin to oscillate. The displacement y of the mass from its resting position is given by a function of the form
y(t) = c1 cosωt + c2 cosωt (5)
where ω is a constant that depend s on the spring and the mass. (See the figure below.) Show that the set of all functions described in (5) (with ω fixed and c1, c2 arbitrary) is a vector space.
Quantities that have magnitude and direction but not position. Some examples of vectors are velocity, displacement, acceleration, and force. They are sometimes called Euclidean or spatial vectors.
