Trying to understand how to move objects in 3D space

To move an object in 3D space, we can use mathematical functions to set its position over time. Similarly, setting the y position to 10 * cos(πt/2) makes the cube oscillates vertically, from 10 to -10 every 2 seconds. In summary, we can move objects in 3D space by defining their x, y, z coordinates as functions of time.
