Question

A particles is executing SHM on a straight line A and B are two points at which its velocity is zero It passes through a certain point P (AP < BP) at successive intervals of 0.5 s and 1.5 s with a speed of 3 m/s

• A. The maximum speed of particles is $3\sqrt{2}$
• B. The maximum speed of particles is $\sqrt{2}$ m/s
• C. The ratio $\frac{AP}{BP}$ is $\frac{\sqrt{2}-1}{\sqrt{2}+1}$
• D. The ratio $\frac{AP}{BP}$ is $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C)

The correct options are
A The maximum speed of particles is $3\sqrt{2}$
C The ratio $\frac{AP}{BP}$ is $\frac{\sqrt{2}-1}{\sqrt{2}+1}$
