A particle undergoes simple harmonic motion (SHM) with amplitude $x_₀$ and angular frequency $ω$. What is the maximum speed of the particle?

A

$ωx_₀$
B

$ω²x_₀$
C

$ωx_₀²$
D

$ω²/x_₀$

Hint Hint

Hint

Recall the relationship between displacement, velocity, and acceleration in SHM. Velocity is the time derivative of displacement. Find the expression for velocity and determine its maximum possible value.
