Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM) – Tough Objective Questions

Stage-1 | Page-7 | Graphs, Phase & Conceptual Traps (IIT-JEE)


Q46. In SHM, the graph between acceleration and displacement is:

Options:
A) Straight line through origin B) Parabola C) Circle D) Hyperbola
Answer: A
Reason: a = −ω²x → linear relation

Q47. Phase difference between displacement and acceleration in SHM is:

Options:
A) 0 B) π/2 C) π D) 3π/2
Answer: C
Concept: Acceleration is always opposite to displacement.

Q48. A particle starts from mean position moving towards +x direction. Its initial phase (φ) is:

Options:
A) 0 B) π/2 C) π D) −π/2
Answer: 0
Explanation: x = A sin(ωt + φ), at t = 0 → x = 0, v positive → φ = 0

Q49. Which graph represents total energy vs time for SHM?

Options:
A) Straight line B) Sine wave C) Constant horizontal line D) Exponential curve
Answer: C

Q50. At which position is kinetic energy maximum?

Options:
A) x = A B) x = A/2 C) x = A/√2 D) x = 0
Answer: D

Q51. The velocity-time graph of SHM is:

Options:
A) Straight line B) Parabola C) Sine curve D) Rectangle
Answer: C

Q52. Time taken by a particle to go from mean position to half amplitude is:

Options:
A) T/12 B) T/8 C) T/6 D) T/4
Answer: B
Hint:
x = A sin ωt ⇒ sin ωt = 1/2 ⇒ ωt = π/6

Q53. Which of the following does NOT change with time in SHM?

Options:
A) Kinetic energy B) Potential energy C) Acceleration D) Angular frequency
Answer: D

Q54. The slope of displacement-time graph at mean position is:

Options:
A) Zero B) Maximum C) Minimum D) Constant
Answer: B
Reason: Slope = velocity, which is max at mean.

Q55. In SHM, which quantity is 90° ahead of displacement?

Options:
A) Acceleration B) Velocity C) Energy D) Force
Answer: B
