Question
The total displacement of a particle in simple harmonic motion in one time period is:
- 4 A
- 2 A
- Zero
- A
Hint:
Distance is the Actual length of the path travelled by the object. Displacement is shorterest distance between initial and final position of the object
The correct answer is: Zero
In one time period, the particle in SHM comes back to its original position. So the displacement will be zero.
