Question

Given the position-versus-time graph of a particle in simple harmonic motion, what is the motion's amplitude?

A) Period
B) Frequency
C) Wavelength
D) Maximum displacement

Answer 1

The amplitude of motion in a simple harmonic motion is equivalent to the maximum displacement of the particle from its equilibrium position.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amplitude of motion in a simple harmonic motion is equivalent to the maximum displacement of the particle from its equilibrium position. It represents the distance between the resting position and the maximum displacement of the wave. So, the correct answer is D) Maximum displacement.
