The graph shows variation of displacement of a particle performing SHM with time t. which of the following statements is correct from the graph?


Options
- AThe acceleration is maximum at time .
- BThe force is maximum at time
- CThe velocity is zero at time
- DThe kinetic energy is equal to total energy at time
Correct answer
B. The force is maximum at time
Step-by-step solution
From the given graph, the displacement of the particle is , where .
At , displacement . Acceleration . Thus, acceleration is zero.
At , displacement (extreme position). The restoring force is . The magnitude of force is , which is the maximum value. Thus, the force is maximum.
At , displacement (mean position). Velocity is maximum at the mean position, not zero.
At , displacement (extreme position). Velocity is zero, so kinetic energy is zero. Total energy is entirely potential energy.
Answer: The force is maximum at time .
At , displacement . Acceleration . Thus, acceleration is zero.
At , displacement (extreme position). The restoring force is . The magnitude of force is , which is the maximum value. Thus, the force is maximum.
At , displacement (mean position). Velocity is maximum at the mean position, not zero.
At , displacement (extreme position). Velocity is zero, so kinetic energy is zero. Total energy is entirely potential energy.
Answer: The force is maximum at time .
