Solution

Given: 

A = 5 cm = 5 × 10−2 m, T = 2 s,

a = `"a"_"max"/2 = ("Aomega^2)/2` ….(i)

To find: speed (v)

Formula: v = `omegasqrt("A"^2 - "x"^2)`

Calculation:

Since, a = ω2x  

∴ x = `"a"/ω^2 = ("A"ω^2)/(2ω^2) = "A"/2` ….[from (i)]

From formula,

v = `ωsqrt("A"^2 - "A"^2/4) = sqrt3/2"A"ω`

= `sqrt3/2 xx 5 xx 10^-2 xx (2pi)/"T"` .....`[∵ ω = (2pi)/"T"]`

= `sqrt3/2 xx 5 xx 10^-2 xx (2 xx 3.14)/2`

∴ v = 13.6 × 10−2 m/s

The speed of the particle where its acceleration is half of its maximum value is 13.6 × 10−2 m/s.
