The average acceleration of a particle performing S.H.M. over two complete oscillations is (A = amplitude, = angular frequency)

Options

  1. AA ^2 2
  2. Bzero
  3. CA ^2
  4. D2A ^2

Correct answer

B. zero

Step-by-step solution

The average acceleration of a particle over a given time interval is defined as the total change in velocity divided by the total time taken. a _ avg = v t = v _f - v _i t For a particle performing Simple Harmonic Motion (S.H.M.), the velocity is a periodic function of time. After any integer number of complete oscillations, the particle returns to its exact initial state, meaning its final velocity v _f is equal to its initial velocity v _i . Over two complete oscillations, the change in velocity is: v = v _f - v
