3.20 Figure 3.23 gives the x-t plot of a particle executing one-dimensional simple harmonic motion. (You will learn about this motion in more detail in Chapter14). Give the signs of position, velocity and acceleration variables of the particle at t = 0.3 s, 1.2 s, – 1.2 s.

3.20 Figure 3.23 gives the x-t plot of a particle executing one-dimensional simple harmonic motion. (You will learn about this motion in more detail in Chapter14). Give the signs of position, velocity and acceleration variables of the particle at t = 0.3 s, 1.2 s, – 1.2 s.

3.20 In simple harmonic motion, the acceleration is expressed as a = - 2x, where is the angular frequency.
(a) At t = 0.3 s, position x is negative, velocity v is negative and acceleration a ( from above equation) will be positive
(b) At t = 1.2 s, position x is positive, velocity is positive, a
