Question : 9

Consider the following statements for a simple harmonic motion:

  1. The magnitude of the velocity of the body is proportional to its displacement from the mean position.
  2. The magnitude of the acceleration of the body is proportional to its displacement from the mean position.
  3. The sum of the kinetic energy and potential energy of the body is always constant.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

a) 3 only

b) 1 and 3

c) 2 and 3

d) 2 only

Answer: (c)

Let the displacement (y) of a particle executing SHM at an instant be given by.

y = a sin (ωt + φ)

velocity, v = ${dy}/{dt}$ = aω cos(ω + φ)

Hence, the magnitude of the velocity of a body is not proportional to its displacement from the mean position.

Acceleration, A = ${dv}/{dt}$  = –aω2 sin (ωt + φ) = - ω2y

Hence, |A| ∝ y

The total energy in SHM is given by

E = PE + KE = EP + EK = 1/2 mω2a2 = a constant

Question : 10

If you go on increasing the stretching force on a wire in a guitar, its frequency.

a) remains unchanged

b) increases

c) decreases

d) None of these

Answer: (b)
