Oscillations & Simple Harmonic Motion

Phase 1 – Page 6 | Conceptual & Calculation-Based Questions


MCQ 42: Displacement at Given Time

A particle executes SHM according to the equation: x = 10 sin(5t). Find the displacement at t = π/10 s.

Options:

  • A) 0
  • B) 5 cm
  • C) 10 cm
  • D) 7.07 cm

Correct Answer: C) 10 cm

At t = π/10: 5t = π/2 ⇒ sin(π/2) = 1 ⇒ x = 10 cm


MCQ 43: Speed at Given Displacement

A particle executes SHM with amplitude A and angular frequency ω. What is the speed at displacement x?

Options:

  • A) ωx
  • B) ωA
  • C) ω√(A² − x²)
  • D) ω²x

Correct Answer: C) ω√(A² − x²)

Remember Formula: v = ω√(A² − x²)


MCQ 44: Time Period of Spring-Mass System

A mass m is attached to a spring of spring constant k. The time period of oscillation is:

Options:

  • A) 2π√(k/m)
  • B) 2π√(m/k)
  • C) √(m/k)
  • D) π√(m/k)

Correct Answer: B) 2π√(m/k)


MCQ 45: Effect of Amplitude on Time Period

If the amplitude of SHM is doubled, the time period becomes:

Options:

  • A) Double
  • B) Half
  • C) Four times
  • D) Same

Correct Answer: D) Same

Key Concept: Time period of ideal SHM is independent of amplitude.


MCQ 46: Phase at Mean Position

At mean position, the phase of a particle executing SHM is:

Options:

  • A) 0 or π
  • B) π/2 or 3π/2
  • C) π/4
  • D) Cannot be determined

Correct Answer: B) π/2 or 3π/2


MCQ 47: Energy at Extreme Position

At extreme position, the total energy of SHM is:

Options:

  • A) Zero
  • B) Only kinetic energy
  • C) Only potential energy
  • D) Half kinetic, half potential

Correct Answer: C) Only potential energy


MCQ 48: Relation Between a and x

The acceleration a of a particle in SHM is related to displacement x by:

Options:

  • A) a ∝ x
  • B) a ∝ 1/x
  • C) a ∝ x²
  • D) a = constant

Correct Answer: A) a ∝ x

More precisely: a = −ω²x
