Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the phase difference between two particles executing simple harmonic motion in phase? (2021)
  • Step 1: Understand what 'in phase' means. It means that two particles are moving together at the same time.
  • Step 2: Recognize that when two particles are in phase, they reach their maximum and minimum positions simultaneously.
  • Step 3: Know that the phase difference is a measure of how much one particle is ahead or behind the other in their motion.
  • Step 4: Since both particles are moving together, there is no difference in their positions at any time.
  • Step 5: Therefore, the phase difference between the two particles is 0 radians.
