JEE Advanced – Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM)

High-Scoring Objective PYQs with Logic – Page 5

Target: Answer in < 30 seconds using concept, not calculation


Q1.

In SHM, the quantity that remains constant throughout motion is:

  • A. Velocity
  • B. Acceleration
  • C. Total Energy
  • D. Momentum

Answer: C

Logic: Energy exchanges between KE & PE but sum is constant.


Q2.

At mean position in SHM:

  • A. Acceleration is maximum
  • B. Velocity is zero
  • C. Kinetic energy is maximum
  • D. Potential energy is maximum

Answer: C


Q3.

Time period of SHM depends on:

  • A. Amplitude
  • B. Phase
  • C. Mass & Force Constant
  • D. Maximum velocity

Answer: C


Q4.

If amplitude of SHM is doubled, time period becomes:

  • A. Doubled
  • B. Halved
  • C. Unchanged
  • D. Four times

Answer: C


Q5.

Acceleration in SHM is zero at:

  • A. Mean position
  • B. Extreme position
  • C. Everywhere
  • D. Nowhere

Answer: A


Q6.

At extreme position in SHM:

  • A. Velocity is maximum
  • B. Acceleration is zero
  • C. Potential energy is maximum
  • D. Power is maximum

Answer: C


Q7.

Which graph is a straight line in SHM?

  • A. v vs t
  • B. a vs x
  • C. PE vs x
  • D. KE vs x

Answer: B


Q8.

Jerk is maximum at:

  • A. Mean position
  • B. Extreme position
  • C. Everywhere same
  • D. Zero everywhere

Answer: A


Q9.

In vertical spring SHM, gravity:

  • A. Changes time period
  • B. Changes amplitude
  • C. Shifts equilibrium only
  • D. Stops oscillation

Answer: C


Q10.

Two SHMs have same amplitude but frequencies f₁ and f₂. Ratio of maximum accelerations is:

  • A. f₁ / f₂
  • B. (f₁ / f₂)²
  • C. √(f₁ / f₂)
  • D. 1

Answer: B


How to Use Page 5 in Exam

  • Do these questions in first round
  • Trust direct concepts, avoid calculations
  • Eliminate absolute words: always, zero, constant
  • Save time for numericals
