Question

The maximum velocity and the maximum acceleration of a body moving in a simple harmonic oscillator are $2m/s$ and $4m/s^2$. The angular velocity will be:

• A. $3rad/s$
• B. $0.5rad/s$
• C. $1rad/s$
• D. $2rad/s$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $2rad/s$

$V_{max}=WA,$

$a_{max}=WA$ $\to$ As we know

$w=\frac{a_{max}}{V_{max}}=\frac{4}{2}$

$w=2rad/sec$
