Question

The distance moved by a particle in shm in one time period is

Answer 1

Explanation:

The answer is '4A' if you consider the amplitude be ' A'

'A'. for positive stream same for coming back to mean position, same for negative extreme and same for coming back to me position so it's sum up to '4A'.

Thank you.

Answer 2

Answer:

4xA where A is the amplitude

In one time period an object in shm moves from

Mean position to +A

+A to mean position

Mean position to -A

-A to mean position

Therefore the total distance is 4xA
