Which of the following quantities are always zero in a simple harmonic motion?

(a). Sinθ


Direction of Force and acceleration is always same.


Therefore, it will always be Zero as Sin(0°) = 0


(b). Sinθ


Direction of Velocity and displacement is same, so this expression will also be zero.


Now,


As direction of Force and acceleration is always opposite to Displacement. This means θ = 180.


Sin180° = 0


Cross product of Displacement with Force and displacement with acceleration will always be Zero.


Hence, all four options are correct
