Question
A particle is in linear simple harmonic motion between two points, A and B, 10cm apart. Take the direction from A to B as the positive direction and give the signs of velocity, acceleration and force on the particle when it is:

At 4cm away from B going towards A.

✓

Answer


From above figure, where A and B represent the two extreme positions of a SHM. For velocity, the direction from A to B is taken to b positive. The acceleration and the force, along AP are taken as positive and along Bp are taken as negative.

At 4cm away from A going towards A, the particles is at S, with a tendency to move along SA, which is negative direction. Therefore, velocity is negative but acceleration is directed towards mean position, along SP. Hence it is positive and also force is positive similarly.

Motion in two dimensions, in a plane can be studied by expressing position, velocity and acceleration as vectors in Cartesian co-ordinates $\text{A}=\text{A}_\text{x}\hat{\text{i}}+\text{A}_\text{y}\hat{\text{j}}$ where $\hat{\text{i}}$ and $\hat{\text{j}}$ are unit vector along x and y directions, respectively and Ax and Ay are corresponding components of A Fig. Motion can also be studied by expressing vectors in circular polar co-ordinates as $\text{A}=\text{A}_\text{r}\hat{\text{r}}+\text{A}_\theta\hat{\theta}$ where $\hat{\text{r}}=\frac{\text{r}}{\text{r}}=\cos\theta\hat{\text{i}}+\sin\theta\hat{\text{j}}$ and $\hat{\theta}=-\sin\theta\hat{\text{i}}+\cos\theta\hat{\text{j}}$ are unit vectors along direction in which ‘r’ and ‘$\theta$’ are increasing.
