The period of oscillation of a particle executing simple harmonic motion is 4π seconds. If the amplitude of oscillation is 3.0m, calculate the maximum speed of the particle

  • A. 4.5m/s
  • B. 1.5m/sCorrect
  • C. 6m/s
  • D. 0.17m/s

Explanation

ω = 2π/T = 2π/4π = 0.5rad/s. Vmax = ωA = 0.5×3 = 1.5m/s.
