The time taken by a particle performing SHM on a straight line to pass from point A to B where its velocities are same is 2 seconds. After another 2 seconds it returns to B. The time period of oscillation is (in seconds):
2
4
6
8
Simple Harmonic Motion -
It is special case of oscillatory motion of a vibrating particle in which the acceleration at any position is directly propotional to displacement from mean position & it is directed towards mean position.
- wherein
From the given information it can be inferred that points A and B are equidistant from mean position Hence from diagram it is clear that time period of oscillation is = 2 + 2 × 2 + 2 = 8 second.
