NEET Solved Paper 2017 Question 28

Question: A particle executes linear simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 3 cm. When the particle is at 2 cm from the mean position, the magnitude of its velocity is equal to that of its acceleration. Then its time period in seconds is

Options:

A) $ \frac{2\pi }{\sqrt{3}} $

B) $ \frac{\sqrt{5}}{\pi } $

C) $ \frac{\sqrt{5}}{2\pi } $

D) $ \frac{4\pi }{\sqrt{5}} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

  • $ v=\omega \sqrt{A^{2}-x^{2}} $ $ a=x{{\omega }^{2}} $ $ v=a $ $ \omega \sqrt{A^{2}-x^{2}}=x{{\omega }^{2}} $ $ \sqrt{{{(3)}^{2}}-{{(2)}^{2}}}=2( \frac{2\pi }{T} ) $ $ \sqrt{5}=\frac{\pi }{T} $
    $ \Rightarrow $ ${\space}$ $ T=\frac{4\pi }{\sqrt{5}} $
