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:
- 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).
