A particle is doing simple harmonic motion of amplitude 0.06 m and time period 3.14 s. The maximum velocity of the particle is _________ cm/s.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

For a particle performing simple harmonic motion (SHM), the maximum velocity vmax can be calculated using the formula:

vmax=Aωv_{max} = A\omega

where AA is the amplitude of the motion and ω\omega is the angular frequency. The angular frequency ω\omega is related to the time period TT by the formula:

ω=2πT\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}

Given:

  • Amplitude, A=0.06 mA = 0.06 \, \mathrm{m}

  • Time period, T=3.14 sT = 3.14 \, \mathrm{s}

First, we find the angular frequency:

ω=2πT=2π3.14\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T} = \frac{2\pi}{3.14}

Substituting ω\omega and AA in the formula for vmaxv_{max} :

vmax=Aω=0.06×2π3.14v_{max} = A\omega = 0.06 \times \frac{2\pi}{3.14}

vmax=0.06×2×3.143.14v_{max} = 0.06 \times \frac{2 \times 3.14}{3.14}

vmax=0.06×2v_{max} = 0.06 \times 2

vmax=0.12 m/sv_{max} = 0.12 \, \mathrm{m/s}

To convert meters per second to centimeters per second, we use the conversion factor 1 m/s=100 cm/s1 \, \mathrm{m/s} = 100 \, \mathrm{cm/s} . Therefore,

vmax=0.12 m/s×100 cm/m=12 cm/sv_{max} = 0.12 \, \mathrm{m/s} \times 100 \, \mathrm{cm/m} = 12 \, \mathrm{cm/s}

Thus, the maximum velocity of the particle is 12 cm/s12 \, \mathrm{cm/s} .
