The phase difference between displacement and acceleration of a particle in a simple harmonic motion is:

A $π rad$
B $\frac{3 π}{2} rad$
C $\frac{π}{2} rad$
D $zero$

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

In SHM:Displacement: x = A sin (ω t) Acceleration: a = - ω^{2} x = - ω^{2} A sin (ω t) = ω^{2} A sin (ω t + π) The phase difference between x and a is π rad .
