MCQ
A particle is performing S.H.M. starting from extreme position. Graphical representation shows that, between displacement and acceleration, there is a phase difference of
  • A
    $0 rad$
  • B
    $\frac{\pi}{4} rad$
  • C
    $\frac{\pi}{2} rad$
  • $\pi rad$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\pi rad$
(d) : Acceleration of a particle performing S.H.M. is $a=-\omega^2 x$ or $a \propto-x$
$\therefore \quad$ There is a phase difference of $\pi$ between displacement and acceleration.
