Physics of Sound

  1. Which one of the following statements is true for the speed v and the acceleration a of a particle executing simple harmonic motion ?​​
    1. When v is  maximum, a is zero
    2. When v is maximum, a is maximum
    3. Value of a is zero, whatever may be the value of v
    4. When v is zero, a is zero
Correct Option: A

When v is maximum, a is zero
v = ω √A² - x² ; a = ω2 x
vmax at x = 0, but at x = 0, a = 0
