The displacement of a body undergoing simple harmonic motion is given by the equation y = 12 (4 t - 4 ) cm . The amplitude and time period of the oscillation are respectively
Options
- A12 ~cm , 0.5 ~s
- B12 ~cm , 2.0 ~s
- C12 ~m , 0.5 ~s
- D12 ~m , 2.0 ~s
Correct answer
A. 12 ~cm , 0.5 ~s
Step-by-step solution
The standard equation for simple harmonic motion is given by y = A ( t + ) . Comparing the given equation y = 12 (4 t - 4 ) cm with the standard equation, we get: Amplitude A = 12 ~cm Angular frequency = 4 ~rad/s The time period T is given by T = 2 . Substituting the value of , we get: T = 2 4 = 0.5 ~s Therefore, the amplitude is 12 ~cm and the time period is 0.5 ~s . Answer: 12 ~cm , 0.5 ~s
