Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM) – Tough Numerical & Graph Questions

Stage-1 | Page-9 | IIT-JEE Advanced Level


SECTION A: Numerical Concept Questions


Q65. A particle executes SHM with amplitude 10 cm and time period 2 s. Find the maximum velocity.
Solution:
ω = 2π / T = π rad/s
vmax = ωA = π × 0.10 = 0.314 m/s

Q66. At what displacement is the kinetic energy half of the maximum kinetic energy?
Solution:
KE = (1/2)KEmax
⇒ x = A / √2

Q67. Time taken by a particle to move from mean position to x = A/2 is?
Solution:
x = A sin(ωt)
sin(ωt) = 1/2 ⇒ ωt = π/6
t = T/12

Q68. Find the ratio of acceleration at x = A/2 to maximum acceleration.
Solution:
a = ω²x
a / amax = (A/2)/A = 1/2

Q69. At what position does velocity become √3/2 of maximum velocity?
Solution:
v² = ω²(A² − x²)
x = A/2

SECTION B: Graph-Based Questions


Q70. A straight-line graph between acceleration and displacement is given. What does the slope represent?
Answer:
Slope = −ω²

Q71. Area under a velocity–time graph over one full cycle is:
Answer: Zero (net displacement)

Q72. Graph of potential energy vs displacement is:
Answer: Parabola opening upward

Q73. Phase difference between velocity and acceleration graphs is:
Answer: π/2

Q74. If slope of displacement–time graph is zero at a point, then that point is:
Answer: Extreme position

SECTION C: IIT Tricky Concept Numericals


Q75. Ratio of time spent by particle in outer half (A/2 to A) to inner half (0 to A/2)?
Answer: More time in outer half (velocity smaller near extremes)
