Answer:
3.96*10^-3 m
Explanation:
Given that
Amplitude, A = 10000 mm/s² = 10 m/s²
Frequency, f = 8 hz
the maximum acceleration of a simple harmonic motion is given as
|a|(max) = Aw², where
A = amplitude of the simple harmonic motion
w = angular frequency of the simple harmonic motion
Remember, w = 2πf, so
w = 2 * 3.142 * 8
w = 50.272 rad/s
Rearranging the formula, and making a the subject, we have
A = |a|(max) / w², so that
A = 10 / 50.272²
A = 10 / 2527.27
A = 0.00396 m
A = 3.96*10^-3 m
