60°( π3 rad) is 0. 050 m. What is the speed of the wave?
A. 25 m s−1
B. 75 m s−1
C. 150 m s−1
D. 300 m s−1

2. A particle performs simple harmonic motion (shm). What is the phase [1 mark]
difference between the displacement and the acceleration of the particle?
A. 0
B. π2
C. π
D. 32π

3. A system that is subject to a restoring force oscillates about an [1 mark]


equilibrium position.

A. the amplitude of the oscillation.
B. the displacement from the equilibrium position.
C. the potential energy of the system.
D. the period of the oscillation.
4. A particle is displaced from rest and released at time t = 0. It performs [1 mark]
simple harmonic motion (SHM). Which graph shows the variation with
time of the kinetic energy Ek of the particle?

5. Two sound waves from a point source on the ground travel through the [1 mark]
ground to a detector. The speed of one wave is 7.5 km s–1, the speed of
the other wave is 5.0 km s–1. The waves arrive at the detector 15 s apart. What is
the distance from the point source to the detector?
