Question 9

A piston in a miniature Stirling engine performs simple harmonic motion with a time period of 0.15 s0.15\text{ s}0.15 s and a stroke displacement amplitude of 24 mm24\text{ mm}24 mm.

What is the maximum speed of the piston?

A

0.16 m s−10.16\text{ m s}^{-1}0.16 m s−1

B

0.50 m s−10.50\text{ m s}^{-1}0.50 m s−1

C

1.0 m s−11.0\text{ m s}^{-1}1.0 m s−1

D

42 m s−142\text{ m s}^{-1}42 m s−1
