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

  • question_answer
    What is the maximum acceleration of the particle doing the SHM \[y=2\sin \left[ \frac{\pi t}{2}+\varphi  \right]\]where 2 is in cm [DCE 2003]

    A)            \[\frac{\pi }{2}cm/{{s}^{2}}\]

    B)            \[\frac{{{\pi }^{2}}}{2}cm/{{s}^{2}}\]

    C)            \[\frac{\pi }{4}cm/{{s}^{2}}\]

    D)            \[\frac{\pi }{4}cm/{{s}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                       Comparing given equation with standard equation,                    \[y=a\sin (\omega t+\varphi ),\] we get, \[a=2\,cm,\] \[\omega =\frac{\pi }{2}\]            \[\therefore {{A}_{max}}={{\omega }^{2}}A\]\[={{\left( \frac{\pi }{2} \right)}^{2}}\times 2\] \[=\frac{{{\pi }^{2}}}{2}cm/{{s}^{2}}\].
