In simple harmonic motion, the velocity of the particle is maximum when it is at which position?
Correct Answer: Mean position
- Step 1: Understand what simple harmonic motion (SHM) is. It is a type of periodic motion where an object moves back and forth around a central point.
- Step 2: Identify the key positions in SHM: the mean position (center) and the extreme positions (maximum displacement on either side).
- Step 3: Recognize that the mean position is where the object is at rest and has no displacement from the center.
- Step 4: Know that as the object moves towards the mean position from either extreme, it speeds up.
- Step 5: Conclude that the velocity of the particle is maximum when it is at the mean position, where the displacement is zero.
