Speed of particle executing simple harmonic motion with amplitude α is half of the maximum speed. At that instant, displacement of the particle is1. α/22. \(\frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{2}\alpha \)3. \(\frac{{2\alpha }}{{\sqrt 3 }}\)4. \(3\sqrt 2 \alpha\)

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : \(\frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{2}\alpha \)

Equations of simple harmonic motion are as followed

\(\begin{array}{l}\dot x = A\omega \cos \omega t\\x = A\sin \omega t\end{array}\)

Maximum speed will be when cosωt is maximum i.e 1

\(\Rightarrow {\left( {\dot x} \right)_{max}} = A\omega\)

When speed is half of maximum

\(\begin{array}{l}\Rightarrow \frac{{A\omega }}{2} = A\omega \cos \omega t \Rightarrow \cos \omega t = \frac{1}{2}\\\Rightarrow \omega t = \frac{\pi }{3}\end{array}\)

At \(\omega t = \frac{\pi }{3}\), displacement will be

\(x = A\sin \omega t = \alpha \sin \left( {\frac{\pi }{3}} \right) = \frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{2}\alpha \)
