For a particle in SHM, if the amplitude of the displacement is \(a\) and the amplitude of velocity is \(v\), the amplitude of acceleration is

  1. A \(v a\)
  2. B \(\frac{v^{2}}{a}\)
  3. C \(\frac{v^{2}}{2 a}\)
  4. D \(\frac{v}{a}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{v^{2}}{a}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(v_{\max }=a \omega\) and
\(
\begin{aligned}
\text { Maximum acceleration } &=\omega^{2} a \\
&=\left(\frac{v}{a}\right)^{2} a=\frac{v^{2}}{a}
\end{aligned}
