If x=5sin(πt+3π) m represents the motion of a particle executing simple harmonic motion, the amplitude and time period of motion, respectively are:
A
5 m,2 s
B
5 cm,1 s
C
5 m,1 s
D
5 cm,2 s
Step-by-Step Solution
Standard Equation of SHM: The general displacement equation for a particle executing simple harmonic motion is given by x(t)=Asin(ωt+ϕ), where:
A is the Amplitude (maximum displacement from the mean position).
ω is the Angular Frequency.
ϕ is the Phase Constant (or initial phase).
Comparing Equations: We compare the given equation x=5sin(πt+3π) with the standard form.
The coefficient of the sine function corresponds to the amplitude: A=5. Since the displacement x is given in meters (m), the amplitude is A=5 m. The coefficient of time t inside the sine argument corresponds to the angular frequency: ω=π rad/s.
Calculate Time Period (T): The time period T is related to the angular frequency by the formula T=ω2π.
Substituting the value of ω: T=π2π=2 s.
Conclusion: The amplitude is 5 m and the time period is 2 s.
