An object of mass 0.2kg executes simple harmonic motion along the x-axis with a frequency of (25/π)Hz. At the position x = 0.04, the object has kinetic energy of 0.5J and potential energy 0.4J. The amplitude of oscillation is? a) 6cm b) 4cm

Definition Definition Special type of oscillation where the force of restoration is directly proportional to the displacement of the object from its mean or initial position. If an object is in motion such that the acceleration of the object is directly proportional to its displacement (which helps the moving object return to its resting position) then the object is said to undergo a simple harmonic motion. An object undergoing SHM always moves like a wave.
