The correct Answer is:
To determine the complete motion of a simple harmonic oscillator (SHM) given the angular frequency \( \omega \), we need two arbitrary initial conditions. Let's analyze what these initial conditions can be. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding SHM Equation**: The equation for simple harmonic motion can be expressed as: \[ x(t) = A \sin(\omega t + \phi) \] where: - \( x(t) \) is the displacement at time \( t \), - \( A \) is the amplitude, - \( \omega \) is the angular frequency, - \( \phi \) is the phase constant. 2. **Identifying Initial Conditions**: To fully determine the motion, we need to know two initial conditions. The initial conditions can be: - Initial position \( x(0) \) at \( t = 0 \). - Initial velocity \( v(0) \) at \( t = 0 \). 3. **Using Initial Position**: At \( t = 0 \): \[ x(0) = A \sin(\phi) \] Knowing the initial position \( x(0) \) allows us to solve for the phase constant \( \phi \) if the amplitude \( A \) is known. 4. **Using Initial Velocity**: The velocity in SHM is given by: \[ v(t) = \frac{dx}{dt} = A \omega \cos(\omega t + \phi) \] At \( t = 0 \): \[ v(0) = A \omega \cos(\phi) \] Knowing the initial velocity \( v(0) \) allows us to find the phase constant \( \phi \) or the amplitude \( A \). 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the two arbitrary initial conditions that are necessary and sufficient to determine the motion completely are: - Initial position \( x(0) \) and initial velocity \( v(0) \). - Alternatively, one could also use the amplitude \( A \) and the initial phase \( \phi \). ### Final Answer: The two arbitrary initial conditions necessary and sufficient to determine the motion completely in simple harmonic motion are: 1. Initial position \( x(0) \) and initial velocity \( v(0) \). 2. Amplitude \( A \) and initial phase \( \phi \). ---
