Two simple harmonic motions are represented as \(y_1=10 \sin \omega t\) and \(y_2=10 \sin \omega t+5 \cos \omega t\). The ratio of the amplitudes of \(y_1\) and \(y_2\) is

  1. A \(1: \sqrt{2}\)
  2. B 1:4
  3. C 1:1
  4. D \(2: \sqrt{5}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(2: \sqrt{5}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(Y_1=10 \sin \omega t\) and
\(Y_2=10 \sin \omega t+5 \cos \omega t\)
Amplitude of \(Y_1\) and \(A_1=10\)
Amplitude of \(Y_2\) is \(A_2=\sqrt{(10)^2+(5)^2}=5 \sqrt{5}\)
Thus, \(\frac{A_1}{A_2}=\frac{10}{5 \sqrt{5}}=2: \sqrt{5}\)
