The maximum speed of the object under simple harmonic motion is 0.786 m/s.
The given parameters:
- Position of the particle, y = 0.5m sin(πt/2)
<h3>Wave equation for
simple harmonic motion;</h3>
y = A sin(ωt + Ф)
where;
- A is the amplitude = 0.5 m
- ω is the angular speed = π/2
The maximum speed of the object is calculated as follows;

Thus, the maximum speed of the object under simple harmonic motion is 0.786 m/s.

The candle flame releases hot gases, which directly go in upwards directions. Due to which the air near the flame of the candle is very hot and dense. The particles along with vapour move up. And since the sideways, the air is not very dense and hot, we are able to hold the candle. In anti-gravity region, there will be no density differences and also, the convection process wont occur. So, the candle quickly snuffs off.
