A particle is executing simple harmonic motion. Its amplitude is \(A\) and time period is \(5\) sec. The time required by it to move from \(x = A\) to \(x = \dfrac{A}{\sqrt{2}}\) is _______ sec.

  1. A \(1/4\)
  2. B \(5/4\)
  3. C \(5/8\)
  4. D \(3/8\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(5/8\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The equation of simple harmonic motion for a particle starting from the extreme position \(x = A\) is given by: \(x = A \cos(\omega t)\) We need to find the time \(t\) when the particle reaches \(x = \dfrac{A}{\sqrt{2}}\). Substituting this value into the equation:…
