Question

Physics Question on simple harmonic motion

The magnitude of acceleration of particle executing SHM at the position of maximum displacement is

A

zero

B

minimum

C

maximum

D

None of these

Answer

maximum

Explanation

Solution

As we know that the maximum acceleration in SHM is given by amax=ω2y \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, a_{max}=-\omega^2 y When the displacement is maximum, then y = a (amplitude)
