    Question

    A mass m is suspended from a spring of spring constant

    k and oscillates with amplitude A. The maximum velocity during oscillation is:
    A A Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B B Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Rationale: The motion of a mass-spring system undergoing simple harmonic motion (SHM) is described by the equation x(t) = Acos ( ╧Йt +┬а ╧Ж),┬а┬а where x(t) is the displacement from the equilibrium position, A is the amplitude, ╧Й is the angular frequency, and ╧Х is the phase constant. The velocity of the mass is the first derivative of the displacement with respect to time: The maximum value of the velocity occurs when тИг sin(╧Йt + ╧Х) тИг is maximum, which is 1. Therefore, the magnitude of the maximum velocity (vmaxтАЛ) is: Therefore, the correct answer is option (d).
