What is the direction of velocity and acceleration in shm ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Acceleration is in the direction of velocity when the particle moves from the extreme position to the mean position. But when it moves from the mean position to the extreme position they are oppositely directed.

For any particle moving with some velocity (vecv) & acceleration (veca) , tangential acceleration & normal acceleration are defined as follows. Tangential acceleration - The component of acceleration in the direction of velocity. Normal acceleration - The component of acceleration in the direction perpendicular to velocity. If at a given instant, velocity & acceleration of a particle are given by . vecc=4hati +3hatj veca=10hati+15hatj+20hatk Find the normal acceleration of the particles at the given instant :-
