CBSEENPH11020388

The displacement of an object attached to a spring and executing simple harmonic motion is given by x = 2 × 10-2 cos πt metres. The time at which the maximum speed first occurs

  • 0.5 s

  • 0.75 s

  • 0.125 s

  • 0.325 s

Solution

A.

0.5 s

x = 2 x 10-2 cos πt
v = 0.02 π sinπt
v is maximum at t = 1/2 = 0.5 sec
