The displacement of Simple Harmonic Motion (S.H.M) of amplitude x in one period is
Correct answer: D. Zero
- A. x0
- B. 2x0
- C. 4x0
- D. Zero
Explanation
In one complete period of Simple Harmonic Motion (S.H.M), the displacement returns to its initial position. Therefore, the net displacement over one period is zero.

About Simple Harmonic Motion
Simple harmonic motion is oscillation in which acceleration is directly proportional to displacement and directed toward the equilibrium position. Work includes displacement, velocity, acceleration, phase, period, frequency, amplitude and energy, with applications to springs and simple pendulums. The restoring force and the conditions for SHM distinguish it from general periodic motion.
