Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

5 m, 2 s

5 m, 2 s

Solution :

The given equation representing the motion of the particle executing simple harmonic motion (SHM) is:
x = 5 sin ( π t + π 3 ) m

The standard equation of a particle executing simple harmonic motion along the x-axis is given by:
x = A sin ( ω t + ϕ )
where:
- A is the amplitude of the motion,
- ω is the angular frequency,
- t is the time, and
- ϕ is the initial phase.

By comparing the given equation with the standard equation, we can determine the values of amplitude (A) and angular frequency (ω):
1. The amplitude is:
A = 5 m
2. The angular frequency is:
ω = π rad s - 1

The time period (T) of the simple harmonic motion is related to the angular frequency (ω) by the formula:
T = 2 π ω

Substituting the value of ω into the formula, we get:
T = 2 π π = 2 s

Thus, the amplitude of the motion is 5 m and the time period of the motion is 2 s.

Therefore, the correct option is 5 m, 2 s.
