The phase difference between displacement and acceleration of a particle in a simple harmonic motion is :

1

π rad\pi \text{ rad}

2

3π2 rad\frac{3\pi}{2} \text{ rad}

3

π2 rad\frac{\pi}{2} \text{ rad}

4

zero

Step-by-Step Solution

If y=Asin(ωt)y = A \sin(\omega t), then v=dydt=Aωcos(ωt)v = \frac{dy}{dt} = A\omega \cos(\omega t) and a=dvdt=Aω2sin(ωt)=Aω2sin(ωt+π)a = \frac{dv}{dt} = -A\omega^2 \sin(\omega t) = A\omega^2 \sin(\omega t + \pi). Thus, the phase difference between displacement (yy) and acceleration (aa) is π\pi.
