Question

A particle executes SHM with angular frequency \( \omega=0.5\,\text{rad s}^{-1} \) and amplitude \(A=5\,\text{cm}\). Find the acceleration when its displacement is \(x=4\,\text{cm}\).

• A. \(0.02\,\text{m/s}^2\)
• B. \(0.0125\,\text{m/s}^2\)
• C. \(0.01\,\text{m/s}^2\)
• D. \(0.005\,\text{m/s}^2\)

Hint:

In SHM, \[ a=-\omega^2x \] Acceleration depends only on displacement and angular frequency.

Answer 1
