The phase difference between the displacement and acceleration of particle executing S.H.M. in radian
- A. \( \pi / 4 \)
- B. \( \pi / 2 \)
- C. \pi \)
- D. \( 2 \pi \)
Step-by-step solution
In simple harmonic motion, displacement x = A sin(ωt+φ) and acceleration a = -ω²x = ω²A sin(ωt+φ+π). Acceleration is exactly opposite in phase to displacement, differing by π radians.
