A body executes 40 oscillations per minute. Its
maximum speed is 36 cm s“'. Calculate the amplitude
of oscillation. [Kerala 2001] [Ans. 3.82 cm]
A simple harmonic motion is represented by
F(t) = 10 sin (20¢ + 0.5).
Write down its amplitude, angular frequency, frequency,
time period and initial phase, if displacement is
measured in m and time in s. [HPSEB 2003]
[Ans. 10 m, 20 rad s“!, 3.18 Hz, 0.314 s, 0.5 rad]
A particle is executing linear simple harmonic
oscillation. In the first second after starting from rest,
it travels a distance x, and in the next second, it travels
a distance x, in the same direction. Show that the
