Velocity & Acceleration in SHM

A particle is making simple harmonic motion along the X-axis. If at a distances x1 and x2 from the mean position the velocities of the particle are v1 and v2 respectively. The time period of its oscillation is given as:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. v12=ω2(A2−x12)v_1^2 = \omega^2(A^2 - x_1^2), v22=ω2(A2−x22)v_2^2 = \omega^2(A^2 - x_2^2).
  2. Subtract: v12−v22=ω2(x22−x12)v_1^2 - v_2^2 = \omega^2(x_2^2 - x_1^2).
  3. T=2πω=2πx22−x12v12−v22T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega} = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{x_2^2 - x_1^2}{v_1^2 - v_2^2}}.
  4. So the answer is (d).
