Displacement EquationMediumQuestion 31105

Question

Standard displacement equation for SHM is:
  1. A
    x = A sin(ωt + φ)
    Correct
  2. B
    x = A e^(ωt)
  3. C
    x = Aωt
  4. D
    x = A cos(ω)t²

Correct answer

x = A sin(ωt + φ)

Explanation

x = A sin(ωt + φ) (or A cos(ωt + φ)), where A is amplitude, ω is angular frequency, φ is initial phase.
