A particle executing linear SHM. Its time period is equal to the smallest time interval in which particle acquires a particular velocity 
, . the magnitude of 
may be
A
Zero
B
V max
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Velocity is a vector, means it has magnitude as well as direction. The maximum velocity at the mean position is acquired by the particle after a single time period at the same position. Other velocities occur twice between one extreme to other extreme position (i.e. within half a time period, See picture below). Hence only true, others not true.
