MCQ
Two simple harmonic motions are represented by the equations

${x}_{1}=5 \sin \left(2 \pi {t}+\frac{\pi}{4}\right)$ and ${x}_{2}=5 \sqrt{2}(\sin 2 \pi {t}+\cos 2 \pi {t})$

The amplitude of second motion is ....... times the amplitude in first motion.

  • A
    $8$
  • $2$
  • C
    $10$
  • D
    $5$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$2$
b
${x}_{2}=5 \sqrt{2}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \sin 2 \pi {t}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \cos 2 \pi {t}\right) \sqrt{2}$

$=10 \sin \left(2 \pi {t}+\frac{\pi}{4}\right)$

$\therefore \frac{{A}_{2}}{{A}_{1}}=\frac{10}{5}=2$
