o POSSIBLE SOLUTION(S)

+ 1) Argue, however, that w(t) = t does NOT count the number of oscillations per second and is thus not the frequency of oscillation.

Input := 

Plot[Sin[2 Pi t^2], {t, 2, 3}, AspectRatio -> Automatic,
 PlotPoints -> 50]
Output =

-Graphics-

Since there are f = 5 cycles for t in [2, 3] and f=5 does not lie between w(2)=2 and w(3)=3 and w(t) is monotone on [2, 3], w(t) must not be counting the number of oscillations per second.

+ 2) Indeed, if W(t) = 2t, then [W(2)=4] <= [f=5] <= [6=W(3)]. Furthermore, the average of W(t) on [2, 3] is f = 5 which makes sense since the frequency W is increasing linearly.

+ 3)

Input := 

w = t^2;
Plot[Sin[2 Pi w t], {t, 2, 3}, PlotPoints -> 50]
Output =

-Graphics-

Counting very carefully, we find f=19 cycles in the one second for t on [2, 3]. If W(t) = 3t^2, then [W(2)=12] <= [f=19] <= [W(3)=27]. Indeed, the average of W(t) on [2, 3] is

Input := 

Integrate[3 t^2, {t, 2, 3}]
Output =

19

+ 4)

Input := 

w = 200 + (100/(2 Pi)) Sin[2 Pi t];
Input := 

W[t_] = 200 + 100 t Cos[2 Pi t] + (100/(2 Pi)) Sin[2 Pi t];
Input := 

Plot[Sin[2 Pi w t], {t, 1, 1.04}, PlotPoints -> 50]
Output =

-Graphics-

It looks like about 12 and 1/6 cycles occur for t in [1, 1.04] which means that we are averaging about f=228.125 cycles per second.

Input := 

f = (12 + 1/6)/0.04
Output =

304.167

which means that we are averaging about f=304.167 cycles per second.

Input := 

leftside = W[1] //N
Output =

300.
Input := 

rightside = W[1.04] //N
Output =

304.691
Input := 

NIntegrate[W[t], {t, 1, 1.04}]/0.04
Output =

302.909

Recognizing that we were only able to make a crude approximation (the 1/6 of a cycle part), we did a pretty good job! As we have seen before, W(t) counts the number of cycles per second at time t. Also, over the interval [1, 1.04], the average number of cycles per second, about 303, is pretty darn close to our estimate of 304!

+ 5) Given w(t), W(t) = D(t w(t)).

+ 6) Given W(t), w(t) = Integrate[W(t)]/t.
