Top Questions on simple harmonic motion
A particle is subjected to simple harmonic motions as: $ x_1 = \sqrt{7} \sin 5t \, \text{cm} $ $ x_2 = 2 \sqrt{7} \sin \left( 5t + \frac{\pi}{3} \right) \, \text{cm} $ where $ x $ is displacement and $ t $ is time in seconds. The maximum acceleration of the particle is $ x \times 10^{-2} \, \text{m/s}^2 $. The value of $ x $ is:

- Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): Knowing initial position \( x_0 \), and initial momentum \( p_0 \) is enough to determine the position and momentum at any time \( t \) for a simple harmonic motion with a given angular frequency \( \omega \).
Reason (R): The amplitude and phase can be expressed in terms of \( x_0 \) and \( p_0 \).
