Ask Me Help Desk - A particle in simple harmonic motion has an angular frequency of 24 rad/s. Its maximu

The basic equation of motion for harmonic motion is:

$<br /> x(t) = A \sin(\omega t)<br />$

You have been given the value for $\omega$ . Now take the derivative of this to find the particle's velocity:

$<br /> v(t) = \frac {dx}{dt} = A \omega \cos (\omega t)<br />$

You have been given the max value of its velocity, so you can now determine the value for A.

The equation for acceleration is the derivative of the velocity equation - you can do the math and determine its maximum value. Post back with what you get and we'll check it for you.
