Question

distance covered during one vibration of an oscillating body in terms of amplitude A is
​

Answer 1

Distance covered in one full oscillation is 4A.

Let's see a detailed explanation:

• Amplitude refers to the highest displacement of an oscillating body from the mean position.In this case, amplitude = A .

Now, when the body starts oscillating from mean position, the following events happen:

1. It goes from mean position to one extreme position.
2. From the extreme position it comes back to the mean position.
3. From the mean position, it goes back to the opposite extreme position.
4. From the opposite extreme position, it comes back to the mean position and completes one full oscillation.

So, it traverses a distance which is 4 times the amplitude.

HENCE TOTAL DISTANCE TRAVELLED IN ONE OSCILLATION IS 4A.
