(2001, 2M)
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 11. (a)
Solution:
- In SHM, velocity of particle also oscillates simple harmonically. Speed is more near the mean position and less near the extreme positions. Therefore, the time taken for the particle to go from
to will be less than the time taken to go it from to , or .
NOTE
From the equations of SHM we can show that
