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

  • question_answer
    A simple pendulum performs simple harmonic motion about X = 0 with an amplitude A and time period T. The speed of the pendulum at \[X=\frac{A}{2}\] will be                                       [MP PMT 1987]

    A)            \[\frac{\pi A\sqrt{3}}{T}\]      

    B)            \[\frac{\pi A}{T}\]

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

    D)            \[\frac{3{{\pi }^{2}}A}{T}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                       Velocity of a particle executing S.H.M. is given by            \[v=\omega \sqrt{{{a}^{2}}-{{x}^{2}}}=\frac{2\pi }{T}\sqrt{{{A}^{2}}-\frac{{{A}^{2}}}{4}}=\frac{2\pi }{T}\sqrt{\frac{3{{A}^{2}}}{4}}=\frac{\pi A\sqrt{3}}{T}\].
