MCQ
The average acceleration in one time period in a simple harmonic motion is:
  • A
    $\text{A}\omega^2$
  • B
    $\frac{\text{A}\omega^2}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{\text{A}\omega^2}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • $\text{Zero}.$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\text{Zero}.$
The acceleration changes its direction (to opposite direction) after every half oscillation. Thus, net acceleration is given as,
$\text{A}\omega^2+(-\text{A}\omega^2)=0$
