Objective Questions – Page 2 (JEE Level)


SECTION: Conceptual + Numerical Objective Questions

  1. A particle executes SHM of amplitude A. The ratio of time spent between x = A/2 and x = A to that between x = 0 and x = A/2 is:
    Answer: Greater than 1
  2. In SHM, the acceleration is proportional to:
    Answer: Displacement from mean position
  3. The kinetic energy of a particle executing SHM is maximum at:
    Answer: Mean position
  4. The total mechanical energy of SHM depends on:
    Answer: Square of amplitude
  5. At what displacement is potential energy equal to kinetic energy?
    Answer: x = A/√2
  6. If the amplitude of SHM is doubled, the time period becomes:
    Answer: Same
  7. The velocity of a particle executing SHM is zero when:
    Answer: Displacement is maximum
  8. Which quantity remains constant throughout SHM?
    Answer: Total energy
  9. The restoring force in SHM always acts:
    Answer: Towards the mean position
  10. The graph between acceleration and displacement in SHM is:
    Answer: Straight line through origin
  11. The phase difference between velocity and displacement is:
    Answer: π/2
  12. The maximum acceleration of a particle in SHM is proportional to:
    Answer: Amplitude
  13. Time taken by a particle to go from mean position to extreme position is:
    Answer: T/4
  14. The frequency of oscillation depends on:
    Answer: System parameters only
  15. In SHM, power averaged over one complete cycle is:
    Answer: Zero
  16. Which of the following is zero at the mean position?
    Answer: Acceleration
  17. If a spring–mass system oscillates vertically, gravity affects:
    Answer: Only equilibrium position
  18. The displacement-time graph of SHM is:
    Answer: Sinusoidal
  19. The velocity-time graph of SHM is:
    Answer: Cosinusoidal
  20. The energy of SHM oscillates with frequency:
    Answer:

Exam Tip:
Most SHM mistakes come from assuming equal time for equal displacement. Always think in terms of velocity variation.
