Kinetic energy is energy possessed by a body by virtue of its movement. Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or state. While kinetic energy of an object is relative to the state of other objects in its environment, potential energy is completely independent of its environment.

The position of an object in simple harmonic motion is defined by the function y = (0.50 m) sin (πt/2). Determine the maximum sp

Gnoma [55]

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;

$V_{max} = A \omega\\\\V_{max} = 0.5 \times \frac{\pi}{2} = \frac{\pi}{4} \ m/s = 0.786 \ m/s$

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