simple harmonic motion SES 2025/2025

When is the pendulum at maximum velocity

• At its lowest point

• At its highest point

• It moves at a constant velocity

• It is at rest

The acceleration of a particle in SHM is:

• always zero

• always constant

• maximum at amplitude

• maximum at the equilibrium position

The amplitude and period in a SHM is 0.5 m and 0.4 s respectively. The equation of SHM will be:

• x=0.5 sin 5πt

• x=0.5 sin 4πt

• x=0.5 sin 2.5πt

• x=0.5 sin 0.8πt
