4. A particle of mass 0.5 kg is moving on a straight line with simple harmonic motion.
At time \(t = 0\) the particle is instantaneously at rest at the point \(A\). It next comes instantaneously to rest 3 seconds later at the point \(B\) where \(A B = 4 \mathrm {~m}\).
- For the motion of the particle write down
- the period,
- the amplitude.
- Find the maximum kinetic energy of the particle in terms of \(\pi\).
The point \(C\) lies on \(A B\) at a distance of 1.2 m from \(B\).
- Find the time it takes the particle to travel directly from \(A\) to \(C\), giving your answer in seconds correct to 2 decimal places.
