A particle executes simple harmonic motion with an amplitude and time period . The displacement of the particle when its speed is half of its maximum speed is:
- A.A/2
- B.\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} ACorrect answer
- C.A/\sqrt{2}
- D.\frac{A}{\sqrt{3}}
Solution
The speed of a particle in SHM is given by . Maximum speed is . Given , we get .
