[2020]
(a) $\frac{3 \pi}{2} rad$
(b) $\frac{\pi}{2} rad$
(c) zero
(d) $\pi$ $ rad$

Answer:
Correct Answer: 7.(d)
Solution:
- (d) Displacement equation of a SHM
$ y=A \sin (\omega t+\phi) $
$\therefore$ Velocity, $v=\frac{d y}{d t}=A \omega \cos (\omega t+\phi)$
Acceleration, $a=\frac{d v}{d t}$
$ \text{ or, } a=-A \omega^{2} \sin (\omega t+\phi) $
$ \therefore a=A \omega^{2} \sin (\omega t+\phi+\pi) $
Hence, phase difference between displacement and acceleration is $\pi$.
