The correct Answer is:
To find the velocity of a simple harmonic oscillator at a given time, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write down the displacement equation The displacement of the simple harmonic oscillator is given by: \[ x(t) = 5 \sin\left(\frac{\pi t}{3}\right) \, \text{m} \] ### Step 2: Differentiate the displacement equation to find velocity The velocity \( v(t) \) of a simple harmonic oscillator is the derivative of the displacement with respect to time: \[ v(t) = \frac{dx}{dt} \] Using the chain rule, we differentiate: \[ v(t) = 5 \cdot \cos\left(\frac{\pi t}{3}\right) \cdot \frac{d}{dt}\left(\frac{\pi t}{3}\right) \] \[ v(t) = 5 \cdot \cos\left(\frac{\pi t}{3}\right) \cdot \frac{\pi}{3} \] \[ v(t) = \frac{5\pi}{3} \cos\left(\frac{\pi t}{3}\right) \] ### Step 3: Substitute \( t = 1 \) s into the velocity equation Now we substitute \( t = 1 \) s into the velocity equation: \[ v(1) = \frac{5\pi}{3} \cos\left(\frac{\pi \cdot 1}{3}\right) \] \[ v(1) = \frac{5\pi}{3} \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) \] ### Step 4: Calculate \( \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) \) We know that: \[ \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) = \frac{1}{2} \] ### Step 5: Substitute the value of \( \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) \) back into the equation Now substituting back: \[ v(1) = \frac{5\pi}{3} \cdot \frac{1}{2} \] \[ v(1) = \frac{5\pi}{6} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the velocity of the simple harmonic oscillator at \( t = 1 \) s is: \[ v(1) = \frac{5\pi}{6} \, \text{m/s} \] ---
