To find the phase constant \( \alpha \) in the equation \( x = A \sin(\omega t + \alpha) \) given that \( x = \frac{A}{2} \) at \( t = 0 \) and the particle is moving along the negative x-axis, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Substitute the given values into the equation**: At \( t = 0 \), we have: \[ x = A \sin(\omega \cdot 0 + \alpha) = A \sin(\alpha) ...
