Solution
Correct Answer:
Zero displacement
- Velocity-Displacement Equation: v(x)=ωA2−x2.
- Extreme Position (x=A): v=ωA2−A2=0. The particle stops and reverses.
- Mean Position (x=0): v=ωA2−0=ωA.
- Conclusion: The maximum speed occurs exactly at the mean position (zero displacement).
- Analogy: Like a pendulum swing, the bob is fastest as it passes through the bottom (center) and slowest at the highest points of its arc.
