In simple harmonic motion the position of the oscillator:
A) Is behind its acceleration by a quarter cycle,or $\pi$/2 radians
B) Leads its acceleration by a quarter cycle,or $\pi$/2 radians
C) Leads its velocity by a quarter cycle,or $\pi$/2 radians
D) Is behind its velocity by a quarter cycle,or $\pi$/2 radians

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In simple harmonic motion, displacement and velocity are out of phase by a quarter cycle or π/2 radians, while displacement and acceleration are out of phase by half a cycle or π radians. Therefore, the position of the oscillator is behind its velocity by a quarter cycle or π/2 radians. So, option D is the correct answer.

In Simple Harmonic Motion the Position of the Oscillator: A) π\piπ

In Simple Harmonic Motion the Position of the Oscillator:
A) $\pi$
