JEE Main 2017 · 8 Apr · Shift 1, Physics question 12

The ratio of maximum acceleration to maximum velocity in a simple harmonic motion is 10 s−1^{-1}. At, t = 0 the displacement is 5 m. What is the maximum acceleration ? The initial phase is π4\dfrac\pi4.

Choose one option
Answer and worked solution

Official answer: B

amaxvmax=ω=10\dfrac{a_{max}}{v_{max}}=\omega=10 s⁻¹. From x=Asin⁡(ωt+π4)x=A\sin\left(\omega t+\frac\pi4\right), 5=A25=\dfrac A{\sqrt2}, so A=52A=5\sqrt2 m and
amax=ω2A=5002 m/s2.a_{max}=\omega^2A=500\sqrt2\text{ m/s}^2.
