NEET Physics Simple Harmonic Motion Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): In simple harmonic motion, the velocity of a particle is zero when its displacement is maximum.
Reason (R): The projection of velocity on the x-axis is given by v(t) = -ωA sin(ωt + φ).
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false but R is true.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The assertion is true because at maximum displacement, the particle changes direction, making its velocity zero. The reason correctly explains this as the velocity projection v(t) is zero when sin(ωt + φ) equals zero.
