Velocity & Acceleration in SHM

A particle executing S.H.M starts from the mean position. Its amplitude is 'A' and time period 'TT'. At what displacement its speed is one-fourth of the maximum speed?

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. v=ωA2−x2v = \omega\sqrt{A^2 - x^2}, vmax=ωAv_{max} = \omega A
  2. A2−x2=A4⇒x2=15A216\sqrt{A^2 - x^2} = \frac{A}{4} \Rightarrow x^2 = \frac{15A^2}{16}
  3. x=A154x = \frac{A\sqrt{15}}{4}
  4. So the answer is (d) A154\frac{A\sqrt{15}}{4}.
