Two particles p and q start from origin and execute simple harmonic motion along x axis with same amplitude but with period 3 seconds and and 6 seconds respectively the ratio of velocities of p and q when they meet is ......
Hello,
We know that, for Simple Harmonic Motion,
Velocity at mean position =Vmax = A.ω, where, ω = 2π / T
So, p = A.2π / T1 ( Since, A1 = A2 = A )
and q = A.2π / T2
So, p / q = T2 /T1
So, p / q = 6 / 3
So, p / q = 2 /1
Hence, the ratios of velocities p and q is 2 : 1
Best Wishes.
