JEE Main & Advanced Physics Simple Harmonic Motion Question Bank Displacement of S.H.M. and Phase

  • question_answer
    A particle starts S.H.M. from the mean position. Its amplitude is A and time period is T. At the time when its speed is half of the maximum speed, its displacement y is [Haryana CEE 1996; CBSE PMT 1996; MH CET 2002]

    A)            \[\frac{A}{2}\]                     

    B)            \[\frac{A}{\sqrt{2}}\]

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

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

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                       \[{{v}_{\max }}=\omega A\] Þ \[v=\frac{\omega A}{2}=\omega \sqrt{{{A}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}}}\]            Þ \[{{A}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}}=\frac{{{A}^{2}}}{4}\] Þ \[{{y}^{2}}=\frac{3{{A}^{2}}}{4}\] Þ \[y=\frac{\sqrt{3}A}{2}\]
