Question

Problem 1

Answer 1

Given information

Given:

A mass on a spring in SHM (Fig. 11–1) has amplitude   and period . At what point in the motion are the velocity zero and the acceleration zero simultaneously?

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

The mass would be at rest and stay at rest if both and were at the same moment. As a result, you may relax! There is no point when and are both at the same time.

The velocity is zero at , while the acceleration is maximal at these places. The velocity is at its maximum when , yet the acceleration is zero. The velocity and acceleration are both nonzeroes for all other locations. As a result, there are no sites where the acceleration and velocity are both 0 at the same time.
