Subtopic: Equation of SHM

Distance Covered in SHM

The distance covered by a particle undergoing SHM in one time period is (A = amplitude of oscillation)
A
2A
4A
\(\frac{A}{2}\)

Solution:

In one complete time period, the particle travels from mean position to one extreme, back to mean, to the other extreme, and back to mean. Total distance is \(A + A + A + A = 4A\).
