The motion of a particle executing simple harmonic motion is described by the displacement function. If the initial (t = 0) position of the particle is 1 cm and its initial velocity is , what are its amplitude andinitial phase angle? The angular frequency of the particle is . If instead of the cosine function, we choose the sine function to describe the simple harmonic motion : , what are the amplitude and initial phase of the particle withthe above initial conditions.
Solution:
Here, at cm and Given : ... (i)Since at , we getThe instantaneous particle velocity is given by or Since at , we getor ...(ii)Squaring and adding the equations (i) and (ii), we get or or Dividing the equation (ii) by (i), we get or tan ϕ or When sine function is used to describe the simple harmonic motion.Here, Since at ; we getor ...(iii)The instantaneous particle velocity is given bySince at , we getor ...(iv)Squaring and adding the equations (iii) and (iv), we getor or or Dividing the equation (iii) by (iv), we get or or
