    A particle is executing motion as follows \[x=a\,\,\sin \left( \omega t-\theta  \right).\] Then the maximum velocity of the particle is:                                                                                                                                                    [BHU M-2003]

    A)  \[a\omega \,\,\cos \,\,\theta \]                              

    B)  \[a\omega \]

    C)  \[a\omega \,\,\sin \,\,\theta \]               

    D)  \[\text{none of these}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     Key Idea: Rate of change of displacement is velocity \[i.e.,\]\[v=\frac{dx}{dt}\]. Given equation is \[x=a\,\sin \,\left( \omega t-\theta  \right)\] Differentiating the equation with respect to \[t\] and using\[\frac{d}{d\,\theta }\sin \,\theta =\cos \,\,\theta ,\] \[v=\frac{dx}{dt}=a\omega \,\cos \,\,\theta \left( \omega t-\theta  \right)\] Velocity is maximum when\[\cos \,\left( \omega t-\theta  \right)=1\]Hence,                                                 \[{{v}_{\max }}=a\omega \] Note: when particle passes through its equilibrium position, then its velocity is maximum.
