Simple Harmonic Motion 5 Question 11

16. The acceleration of this particle for $|x|>X _0$ is

(a) proportional to $V _0$

(b) proportional to $\frac{V _0}{m X _0}$

(c) proportional to $\sqrt{\frac{V _0}{m X _0}}$

(d) zero

Answer:

Correct Answer: 16. (d)

Solution:

  1. For $|x|>X _0$, potential energy is constant. Hence, kinetic energy, speed or velocity will also remain constant.

$\therefore$ Acceleration will be zero.

Hence, the correct option is (d).
