The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the motion of a particle executing Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM) with a given time period \( T \). We will determine the displacement, velocity, acceleration, and kinetic energy of the particle at \( t = 0 \) after it has passed the mean position at \( t = \frac{T}{6} \). ### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding the Motion**: - The time period of the particle is \( T \). - The particle passes through the mean position at \( t = \frac{T}{6} \). At this point, the displacement \( x = 0 \). 2. **Finding the Phase Constant**: - The general equation for displacement in SHM is given by: \[ x(t) = A \sin(\omega t + \phi) \] - Here, \( \omega = \frac{2\pi}{T} \). - At \( t = \frac{T}{6} \), since \( x = 0 \): \[ 0 = A \sin\left(\frac{2\pi}{T} \cdot \frac{T}{6} + \phi\right) \] - This simplifies to: \[ 0 = A \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{3} + \phi\right) \] - For the sine function to be zero, the argument must be \( n\pi \) (where \( n \) is an integer). Thus: \[ \frac{\pi}{3} + \phi = n\pi \] - Solving for \( \phi \) gives: \[ \phi = n\pi - \frac{\pi}{3} \] - For \( n = 1 \), we get: \[ \phi = \pi - \frac{\pi}{3} = \frac{2\pi}{3} \] - For \( n = 0 \), we get: \[ \phi = -\frac{\pi}{3} \] - We will use \( \phi = -\frac{\pi}{3} \). 3. **Calculating Displacement at \( t = 0 \)**: - Now, we calculate the displacement at \( t = 0 \): \[ x(0) = A \sin\left(\omega \cdot 0 + \phi\right) = A \sin\left(-\frac{\pi}{3}\right) \] - Since \( \sin\left(-\frac{\pi}{3}\right) = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \): \[ x(0) = -A \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \] 4. **Calculating Velocity at \( t = 0 \)**: - The velocity in SHM is given by: \[ v(t) = A \omega \cos(\omega t + \phi) \] - At \( t = 0 \): \[ v(0) = A \omega \cos\left(0 + \phi\right) = A \omega \cos\left(-\frac{\pi}{3}\right) \] - Since \( \cos\left(-\frac{\pi}{3}\right) = \frac{1}{2} \): \[ v(0) = A \omega \cdot \frac{1}{2} = \frac{A \omega}{2} \] - The maximum velocity \( V_{max} = A \omega \), hence: \[ v(0) = \frac{V_{max}}{2} \] 5. **Calculating Acceleration at \( t = 0 \)**: - The acceleration in SHM is given by: \[ a(t) = -A \omega^2 \sin(\omega t + \phi) \] - At \( t = 0 \): \[ a(0) = -A \omega^2 \sin\left(-\frac{\pi}{3}\right) = A \omega^2 \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \] - The maximum acceleration \( A_{max} = A \omega^2 \), hence: \[ a(0) = \frac{A_{max} \sqrt{3}}{2} \] 6. **Calculating Kinetic Energy at \( t = 0 \)**: - The kinetic energy is given by: \[ KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 \] - Substituting \( v(0) = \frac{A \omega}{2} \): \[ KE = \frac{1}{2} m \left(\frac{A \omega}{2}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{2} m \frac{A^2 \omega^2}{4} = \frac{m A^2 \omega^2}{8} \] 7. **Calculating Potential Energy at \( t = 0 \)**: - The potential energy is given by: \[ PE = \frac{1}{2} k x^2 \] - Since \( k = m \omega^2 \) and \( x(0) = -A \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \): \[ PE = \frac{1}{2} m \omega^2 \left(-A \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{2} m \omega^2 \frac{3A^2}{4} = \frac{3m A^2 \omega^2}{8} \] ### Summary of Results - Displacement at \( t = 0 \): \( x(0) = -A \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \) - Velocity at \( t = 0 \): \( v(0) = \frac{V_{max}}{2} \) - Acceleration at \( t = 0 \): \( a(0) = \frac{A_{max} \sqrt{3}}{2} \) - Kinetic Energy at \( t = 0 \): \( KE = \frac{m A^2 \omega^2}{8} \) - Potential Energy at \( t = 0 \): \( PE = \frac{3m A^2 \omega^2}{8} \)
