NEET Physics Simple Harmonic Motion Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): In simple harmonic motion, the maximum speed of the particle occurs at the equilibrium position.
Reason (R): The speed is given by the expression v(t) = –Aω sin(ωt + φ), which is maximum when x(t) = 0.
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 maximum speed occurs at the equilibrium position where displacement x = 0, as shown in the expression v(t) = –Aω sin(ωt + φ).
