Question
The average acceleration in one time period in a simple harmonic motion is:

  1. $\text{A}\omega^2$

  2. $\frac{\text{A}\omega^2}{2}$

  3. $\frac{\text{A}\omega^2}{\sqrt{2}}$

  4. $\text{Zero}.$

Answer

  1. $\text{Zero}.$

Explanation:

The acceleration changes its direction (to opposite direction) after every half oscillation. Thus, net acceleration is given as,

$\text{A}\omega^2+(-\text{A}\omega^2)=0$
