Homework Statement
A particle moves with SHM in a straight line.
In the first second after starting from rest,it travels a distance of 1m in a constant direction.
In the next second, it travels a distance of 2m in the same direction.
Find its maximum acceleration
Homework Equations
x=acos(ωt)
\dot{x}=-ω√(a2-x2)
\ddot{x}=-ω2x
The Attempt at a Solution
Starting from rest ∴ when \dot{x}=0, x=a, \ddot{x}=maximum.
maximum \ddot{x}=-ω2x
maximum amplitude = 1.5
∴ amplitude \geq1.5
After many more lines of work, no solution was able to be found.
Can someone help?
