Analysis of the problem:
- The object is performing simple harmonic motion (SHM) according to the equation y = 2Asin(ωt).
- The plane mirror is also performing SHM according to the equation Y = -Asin(ωt - Φ), where Φ is the phase difference between the object and the mirror.
- At time t = 0 sec, the object and the mirror are in the same position.
- We need to find the minimum time after t = 0 sec when the velocity of the image becomes zero.
Solution:
Step 1: Find the equation of motion for the image:
- The equation of motion for the object is y = 2Asin(ωt).
- The equation of motion for the mirror is Y = -Asin(ωt - Φ).
- At t = 0 sec, both the object and the mirror are in the same position, so we can set y = Y = 0.
- This gives us 2Asin(ωt) = -Asin(ωt - Φ).
Step 2: Solve for the phase difference:
- Divide both sides of the equation by Asin(ωt) to get: 2 = -sin(ωt - Φ)/sin(ωt).
- Using the identity sin(A - B) = sin(A)cos(B) - cos(A)sin(B), the equation becomes: 2 = -[sin(ωt)cos(Φ) - cos(ωt)sin(Φ)]/sin(ωt).
- Simplifying further, we get: 2 = -cos(Φ) + tan(ωt)sin(Φ).
- Rearranging the terms, we get: cos(Φ) = 2 - tan(ωt)sin(Φ).
Step 3: Find the value of sin(Φ):
- Recall that sin^2(Φ) + cos^2(Φ) = 1.
- Squaring both sides of the equation cos(Φ) = 2 - tan(ωt)sin(Φ), we get: cos^2(Φ) = (2 - tan(ωt)sin(Φ))^2.
- Expanding and simplifying, we get: 1 - sin^2(Φ) = 4 - 4tan(ωt)sin(Φ) + tan^2(ωt)sin^2(Φ).
- Rearranging the terms, we get: sin^2(Φ) + tan^2(ωt)sin^3(Φ) - 4tan(ωt)sin(Φ) + 3 = 0.
- This is a cubic equation in sin(Φ). Solving this equation is quite complex and beyond the scope of this explanation.
Step 4: Find the minimum time when the velocity of the image becomes zero:
- Since we are unable to find the exact value of sin(Φ), we cannot determine the exact minimum time when the velocity of the image becomes zero.
- Therefore, the correct answer is (D) None of these.
Conclusion:
- The minimum time after t =
