Question

2. The time period of a particle in simple harmonic motion

is equal to the time between consecutive appearances of

the particle at a particular point in its motion. This point

is

(a) the mean position (b) an extreme position

(c) between the mean position and the positive extreme

(d) between the mean position and the negative

extreme.


also give reasons of your answer.​

Answer 1

period T, for finding the time to cover half of the amplitude divide its whole cycle into 8 parts and every part will will half of the amplitude and hence to cover half of the amplitude it will take time of T/8. If you need further guidance and help click on following
