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

  • question_answer
    A particle executes linear simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 2 cm. When the particle is at 1 cm from the mean position the magnitude of its velocity is equal to that of its acceleration. Then its time period in seconds is [Kerala PET 2005]

    A)            \[\frac{1}{2\pi \sqrt{3}}\]

    B)            \[2\pi \sqrt{3}\]

    C)            \[\frac{2\pi }{\sqrt{3}}\]  

    D)            \[\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2\pi }\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                       Velocity \[v=\omega \sqrt{{{A}^{2}}-{{x}^{2}}}\] and acceleration \[={{\omega }^{2}}x\] Now given, \[{{\omega }^{2}}x=\omega \sqrt{{{A}^{2}}-{{x}^{2}}}\]Þ \[{{\omega }^{2}}.1=\omega \sqrt{{{2}^{2}}-{{1}^{2}}}\] Þ \[\omega =\sqrt{3}\] \ \[T=\frac{2\pi }{\omega }=\frac{2\pi }{\sqrt{3}}\]
