Velocity & Acceleration in SHM

A particle of mass m oscillates along x-axis according to equation x = asinω\omegat. The nature of the graph between momentum and displacement of the particle is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. x=asin⁡ωtx = a\sin\omega t, p=mv=maωcos⁡ωtp = mv = ma\omega\cos\omega t.
  2. x2a2+p2m2a2ω2=sin⁡2ωt+cos⁡2ωt=1\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{p^2}{m^2a^2\omega^2} = \sin^2\omega t + \cos^2\omega t = 1.
  3. This is the equation of an ellipse.
  4. So the answer is (c) Ellipse.
