TopicSimple Harmonic Motion

  1. A particle \(P\) is moving in a straight line with simple harmonic motion of period 4 s . The centre of the motion is the point \(O\)
At time \(t = 0 , P\) passes through \(O\) At time \(t = 0.5 \mathrm {~s} , P\) is moving with speed \(2 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\)
  1. Show that the amplitude of the motion is \(\frac { 4 \sqrt { 2 } } { \pi } \mathrm {~m}\)
  2. Find the maximum speed of \(P\)
