The displacement of a particle performing $S.H.M.$ is given by $Y = A \cos [\pi(t + \phi)]$. If at $t = 0$,the displacement is $y = 2 \text{ cm}$ and velocity is $v = 2\pi \text{ cm/s}$,the value of amplitude $A$ in $\text{cm}$ is:

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $\sqrt{2}$
  • C
    $2\sqrt{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

The motion of a particle executing simple harmonic motion is described by the displacement function,$x(t) = A \cos (\omega t + \phi)$. If the initial $(t = 0)$ position of the particle is $1 \; cm$ and its initial velocity is $\omega \; cm/s$,what are its amplitude and initial phase angle? The angular frequency of the particle is $\pi \; s^{-1}$. If instead of the cosine function,we choose the sine function to describe the $SHM$: $x = B \sin (\omega t + \alpha)$,what are the amplitude and initial phase of the particle with the above initial conditions?
