The distance moved by a particle in simple harmonic motion in one time period is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
The distance moved is a scalar quantity and in a simple harmonic motion the distance covered in one time period is 4A. For example, if the particle is at the left extreme at 
then at 
it will again come back to that point.
The distance covered 
.
