Velocity & Acceleration in SHM

A particle is performing S.H.M. starting from extreme position. Graphical representation shows that between displacement and acceleration, there is a phase difference of

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. In SHM a=−ω2xa = -\omega^2 x: acceleration is always opposite to displacement.
  2. −cos⁡θ=cos⁡(θ+π)-\cos\theta = \cos(\theta + \pi), so the acceleration graph is the displacement graph shifted by π\pi.
  3. So the answer is (a) π\pi rad.
