14.24 A body describes simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 5 cm and a period of 0.2 s. Find the acceleration and velocity of the body when the displacement is
(a) 5 cm (b) 3 cm (c) 0 cm..
It is given in the questions that:
Amplitude, A=5 cm=0.05 m
Time period, T = 0.2 s
For displacement, x = 5 cm = 0.05 m
Acceleration:
a=-ω2x
=-(2πT)2x
=-(2π0.2)2×0.05
=-5π2 m/s2
Velocity:
v=ω√A2-x2
=2πT√(0.05)2-(0.05)2
=0
For displacement, x = 3 cm = 0.03 m
Acceleration:
a =-ω2x
=-(2πT)2x
=-(2π0.2)2=0.03
=-3π2 m/s2
Velocity:
v=ω√A2−x2=2πT√A2−x2=2πT(0.05
