Correct answer: B

  1. Use the SHM relations for maximum velocity and acceleration

For simple harmonic motion, vmax⁡=Aωv_{\max}=A\omegavmax​=Aω and amax⁡=Aω2a_{\max}=A\omega^2amax​=Aω2

Hence, amax⁡vmax⁡=Aω2Aω=ω\frac{a_{\max}}{v_{\max}}=\frac{A\omega^2}{A\omega}=\omegavmax​amax​​=AωAω2​=ω

Given: amax⁡vmax⁡=10 s−1\frac{a_{\max}}{v_{\max}}=10\ \text{s}^{-1}vmax​amax​​=10 s−1 So, ω=10 rad/s\omega=10\ \text{rad/s}ω=10 rad/s


  1. Use the displacement equation at t=0t=0t=0

Take the SHM displacement as x=Asin⁡(ωt+ϕ)x=A\sin(\omega t+\phi)x=Asin(ωt+ϕ)

Given initial phase: ϕ=π4\phi=\frac{\pi}{4}ϕ=4π​

At t=0t=0t=0, x(0)=Asin⁡ϕ=5x(0)=A\sin\phi=5x(0)=Asinϕ=5

So, Asin⁡π4=5A\sin\frac{\pi}{4}=5Asin4π​=5 A⋅12=5A\cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=5A⋅2​1​=5 A=52 mA=5\sqrt{2}\ \text{m}A=52​ m


  1. Find maximum acceleration

amax⁡=Aω2a_{\max}=A\omega^2amax​=Aω2 amax⁡=52×(10)2a_{\max}=5\sqrt{2}\times (10)^2amax​=52​×(10)2 amax⁡=52×100a_{\max}=5\sqrt{2}\times 100amax​=52​×100 amax⁡=5002 m/s2a_{\max}=500\sqrt{2}\ \text{m/s}^2amax​=5002​ m/s2


  1. Match with the options

The correct option is: 5002 m/s2\boxed{500\sqrt{2}\ \text{m/s}^2}5002​ m/s2​ which is Option B.
