Velocity & Acceleration in SHM

A particle executes S.H.M. with amplitude 'a', and time period 'T'. The displacement of the particle when its speed is half of maximum speed is xa2\frac{\sqrt{x}a}{2}. The value of x is __________.

Numerical answer type. Work it out, then open the answer.

Show answer and solution

Answer: 3

  1. v=ωa2−y2v = \omega\sqrt{a^2 - y^2}, vmax=ωav_{max} = \omega a
  2. a2−y2=a2⇒y=3a2\sqrt{a^2 - y^2} = \frac{a}{2} \Rightarrow y = \frac{\sqrt{3}a}{2}
  3. Comparing with xa2\frac{\sqrt{x}a}{2}: x=3x = 3
