Two particles execute SHM of the same amplitude of \(20\) cm with the same time period along the same line about the same equilibrium position. The maximum distance between the two is \(20\) cm. Their phase difference in radians is:

Two particles \(P\) and \(Q\) execute simple harmonic motion with the same amplitude and time period along the same straight line about a common equilibrium position \(O.\) When they are on opposite sides of \(O,\) at equal distances from it, they move in the same direction with a speed of \(1.2\) m/s At another instant, when their displacements from \(O\) are equal, they move in opposite directions with a speed of \(1.6\) m/s. What is the maximum speed of either particle?
1. \(2.8\)
2. \(2.5\)
3. \(3\)
4. \(2\)

The time period of a particle executing SHM is 8 sec. At t = 0 it is at the mean position. The ratio of the distance covered by the particle in the 1st second to the 2nd second is :

2. $\sqrt{2}$

3. $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}<mspace\; width="1em"></mspace>}$

4. $\sqrt{2}<mspace\; width="1em"></mspace>+<mspace\; width="1em"></mspace>1$

The displacement of a body executing SHM is given by x= A sin (2$\mathrm{\pi }$t + $\mathrm{\pi }$/3). The first time from t = 0 when the velocity is maximum is :
