Question
A particle is in linear simple harmonic motion between two points, A and B, 10cm apart. Take the direction from A to B as the positive direction and give the signs of velocity, acceleration and force on the particle when it is: At the end B.

Answer


From above figure, where A and B represent the two extreme positions of a SHM. For velocity, the direction from A to B is taken to b positive. The acceleration and the force, along AP are taken as positive and along Bp are taken as negative.
At the end B, velocity is zero. Here, acceleration and force are negative as they are directed along BP.
