Identify the amplitude (A) of the motion from the graph. The amplitude is the maximum displacement from the equilibrium position. From the graph, the amplitude is 4 cm.
Determine the period (T) of the motion. The period is the time it takes for one complete cycle of motion. From the graph, the particle completes one cycle from t = 0 to t = 4 s, so T = 4 s.
Calculate the angular frequency (ω) using the formula: ω = 2π / T. Substitute the value of T = 4 s into the formula to find ω.
Use the formula for maximum velocity in simple harmonic motion: vₘₐₓ = Aω. Substitute the values of A (4 cm) and ω (calculated in the previous step) into this formula.
Ensure the units are consistent. If needed, convert the amplitude from cm to meters before calculating vₘₐₓ. The final expression for vₘₐₓ will be in meters per second (m/s).

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM)

Simple Harmonic Motion is a type of periodic motion where an object oscillates around an equilibrium position. The motion is characterized by a restoring force proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium, leading to sinusoidal position, velocity, and acceleration graphs. In SHM, the maximum displacement from the equilibrium is known as the amplitude.

Velocity in SHM

In Simple Harmonic Motion, the velocity of the oscillating object varies sinusoidally with time. The maximum velocity, denoted as vₘₐₓ, occurs as the object passes through the equilibrium position. It can be calculated using the formula vₘₐₓ = ωA, where ω is the angular frequency and A is the amplitude of the motion.

Position-Time Graph

A position-time graph visually represents the position of an object as a function of time. In the context of SHM, this graph typically shows a sinusoidal wave, indicating periodic motion. The slope of the graph at any point gives the instantaneous velocity, and the maximum slope corresponds to the maximum velocity of the particle.
