NEET Physics Simple Harmonic Motion Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): In simple harmonic motion, the velocity of the particle is maximum at the mean position.
Reason (R): The velocity of a particle in simple harmonic motion is given by v(t) = -ωA sin(ωt + φ), which depends on the sine of the phase angle.
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.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The velocity is maximum at the mean position in SHM, where the sine function reaches its maximum value. The equation v(t) = -ωA sin(ωt + φ) confirms the dependence on the phase angle.
