JEE Main & Advanced Physics Simple Harmonic Motion Question Bank Velocity of Simple Harmonic Motion

  • question_answer
    A particle executes simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 4 cm. At the mean position the velocity of the particle is 10 cm/s. The distance of the particle from the mean position when its speed becomes 5 cm/s is [EAMCET (Med.) 2000]

    A)            \[\sqrt{3}\,cm\]                  

    B)            \[\sqrt{5}\,cm\]

    C)            \[2(\sqrt{3})\,cm\]            

    D)            \[2(\sqrt{5})\,cm\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                       \[{{v}_{\max }}=a\omega \] Þ \[\omega =\frac{{{v}_{\max }}}{a}=\frac{10}{4}\] Now, \[v=\omega \sqrt{{{a}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}}}\]Þ \[{{v}^{2}}={{\omega }^{2}}({{a}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}})\]Þ \[{{y}^{2}}={{a}^{2}}-\frac{{{v}^{2}}}{{{\omega }^{2}}}\] Þ \[T\propto \sqrt{m}\]\[=2\sqrt{3}\]cm
