The velocity of a certain simple harmonic oscillator is given by v = -(12 m/s) sin [(6.0 rad/s) t]. What is the amplitude of the simple harmonic motion?
A)2.0 m
B)4.0 m
C)6.0 m
D)8.0 m
E)12 m

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The amplitude of the simple harmonic motion is the maximum displacement from the equilibrium position. In this case, the maximum displacement is 12 m, so the amplitude is 12 m.
