Question 67: Oscillations

Question

In a linear Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM)

(A) Restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement.

(B) The acceleration and displacement are opposite in direction.

(C) The velocity is maximum at mean position.

(D) The acceleration is minimum at extreme points.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Accepted Answer

The correct options are:
(A) Restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement. - True (this is a defining characteristic of SHM)
(B) The acceleration and displacement are opposite in direction. - True (the acceleration is proportional to the displacement but in the opposite direction)
(C) The velocity is maximum at mean position. - True (the velocity is zero at the extreme positions and reaches a maximum at the mean position)
(D) The acceleration is minimum at extreme points. - False (the acceleration is maximum at the extreme points and zero at the mean position)
