    Which one of the following statements is true for the speed v and the acceleration a of a particle executing simple harmonic motion?

    A)  When v is maximum, a is minimum

    B)  Value of a is zero, whatever may be the value of v

    C)  When v is zero, a is zero

    D)  When v is maximum, a is zero

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    In simple harmonic motion, the displacement equation is,\[y=A\sin \omega t\] Where A is amplitude of the motion.             Velocity, \[v=\frac{dy}{dt}=A\,\omega \cos \omega t\]             \[v=A\omega \sqrt{1-{{\sin }^{2}}\omega t}\]             \[v=\omega \sqrt{{{A}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}}}\]                                           (i)             Acceleration, \[a=\frac{dv}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}(A\omega cos\omega t)\]             \[a=-A{{\omega }^{2}}\sin \omega t\]                                                    \[a=-A{{\omega }^{2}}\sin \omega t\]             \[a=-{{\omega }^{2}}y\]                                              (ii)             When, \[y=0;\,V=A\omega ={{V}_{\max }}\] \[a=0={{a}_{\min }}\] When \[y=A;v=0={{v}_{\min }}\] \[a=-{{\omega }^{2}}A={{a}_{\max }}\] Hence, it is clear that when v is maximum, then a is minimum (i.e., zero) or vice versa.
