The given graph shows the position as a function of time for a particle performing SHM. Whereas, the initial position of the particle is its maximum positive displacement. Which of the following graphs shows the velocity as a function of time?

Correct answer: B. b

  • A. a
  • B. b
  • C. c
  • D. d

Explanation

At max displacement velocity will be 0. Then till middle their will be acceleration to give max velocity then min displacement and then 0 velocity. Therefore, at extreme position, velocity of the particle performing S.H.M. is minimum which is Vmin = 0 And velocity is maximum at mean position when the displacement = 0

About Force and Motion

Displacement, velocity and acceleration describe motion, including the horizontal and vertical components of projectile motion. The chapter connects these quantities with Newton's laws, momentum and impulse, then applies conservation of momentum to collisions, distinguishing elastic collisions from inelastic ones.
