The amplitude of a particle executing simple harmonic motion in 5cm while its angular frequency is 10 rad s-1. calculate the magnitude of the maximum acceleration of the particle
-
A.
0.25ms-2 -
B.
0.50ms-2 -
C.
2.00ms-2 -
D.
5.00ms-2
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation
amax = (omega^2 r = 10^2 times frac{5}{100} = 5ms^{-2})
