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: D. 5.00ms-2

Explanation

amax = \(\omega^2 r = 10^2 \times \frac{5}{100} = 5ms^{-2}\)
