Q.
A particle has simple harmonic motion. The equation of its motion is $x = 5\sin{\left( 4t - \frac{\pi}{6} \right),}$ where $x$ is its displacement. If the displacement of the particle is 3 units, then it velocity is
A) $\frac{2\pi}{3}$
B) $\frac{5\pi}{6}$
C) 20
D) 16
Explanation
(d) From the given equation, $a = 5\ $and$\ \omega = 4$
$\therefore v = \omega\sqrt{a^{2} - y^{2}} = 4\sqrt{(5)^{2} - (3)^{2}} = 16$
