Infinity Learn · Accepted Answer

$$y=asin$$⁡ω$$t+$$ϕ$$0$$. According to the question $$y=a2$$⇒$$a2=asin$$⁡ω$$t+$$ϕ$$0$$⇒ω$$t+$$ϕ$$0=$$ϕ$$=$$π$$6$$ or $$5$$$$π$$$$6Physical$$ meaning of ϕ$$=$$π$$6$$ : particle is at point p and it is going towards Physical meaning of ϕ$$=5$$$$π$$$$6$$: particle is at point P and it is going towards OSo phase difference, Δϕ$$=5$$$$π$$$$6$$−π$$6=2$$$$π$$$$3=120$$∘
