Physics · Simple harmonic motion (S.H.M.) and its equation, phase
The displacement-time graph of a particle executing SHM is shown in the figure.
The displacement-time graph of a particle executing SHM is shown in the figure. Then This question has multiple correct options
- A. the velocity is maximum at \( t=T / 2 \)
- B. the acceleration is maximum at \( t=T \)
- C. the force is zero at \( t=3 T / 4 \)
- D. the potential energy equals the oscillation at t=T/2
Step-by-step solution
In SHM, acceleration is proportional to negative displacement. At t=T, displacement is maximum (positive extreme), so acceleration magnitude is maximum (negative direction).
