Physics · Simple harmonic motion (S.H.M.) and its equation, phase
A particle executing S.H.M. completes a distance (taking friction as negligible)
A particle executing S.H.M. completes a distance (taking friction as negligible) in one complete one time period.
- A. Four times the amplitude
- B. Two times the amplitude
- C. one times the amplitude
- D. Eight times the amplitude
Step-by-step solution
In one complete time period, the particle moves from one extreme to the other (covering 2 amplitudes) and back to the starting extreme (another 2 amplitudes), totaling 4 times the amplitude.
