Two particles undergo $SHM$ along parallel lines with the same time period $(T)$ and equal amplitudes $(A)$. At a particular instant,one particle is at its extreme position while the other is at its mean position. They move in the same direction. They will cross each other after a further time:

The displacement of a particle varies according to the relation $x = 4(\cos \pi t + \sin \pi t)$. The amplitude of the particle is

Two simple harmonic motions are represented by $y_1 = 5[\sin 2 \pi t + \sqrt{3} \cos 2 \pi t]$ and $y_2 = 5 \sin [2 \pi t + \frac{\pi}{4}]$. The ratio of their amplitudes is

Two particles are executing $SHM$ in a straight line. The amplitude $A$ and time period $T$ of both particles are equal. At time $t = 0$,one particle is at displacement $x_1 = +A$ and the other is at $x_2 = -A/2$,and they are approaching each other. The time after which they will cross each other is:

Two particles $P$ and $Q$ perform $SHM$ with the same amplitude $a$ and frequency $v$ along the same straight line. The maximum distance between the two particles is $a \sqrt{2}$. The initial phase difference between the particles is:
