For a particle performing linear $SHM$,its average speed over $1$ oscillation is ($A =$ amplitude of $SHM$,$n =$ frequency of oscillation). (in $A \ n$)

Speed $v$ of a particle moving along a straight line,when it is at a distance $x$ from a fixed point on the line is given by $v^2 = 108 - 9x^2$ (all quantities in $S.I.$ units). Then:

Define periodic time and angular frequency and obtain the relation between them.

Explain the concepts of a reference particle and a reference circle,and show that simple harmonic motion $(SHM)$ is the projection of uniform circular motion on a diameter of the reference circle.

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?
