The vertical motion of a ship at sea is described by the equation

\frac{d^2 x}{d t^2}=-4 x

, where

x

is the vertical height of the ship (in metre) above its mean position. If it oscillates through a height of

1 \mathrm{~m}

, its maximum vertical

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

speed will be

2 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}

Option B (speed will be

2 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}

) is correct because the equation represents SHM with ω = 2, and given the amplitude is 0.5 m, the maximum speed is

v_{max} = A\omega = 1 \times 2 = 2 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}

.
