Assertion: If a pendulum falls freely, then its time period becomes infinite.
Reason: Free falling body has acceleration, equal to .
Reason: Free falling body has acceleration, equal to .
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion
Option A (If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion) is correct because in free fall, the effective acceleration due to gravity becomes zero, leading to an infinite time period for the pendulum.

Assertion: A particle executing simple harmonic motion comes to rest at the extreme positions.
Reason: The resultant force on the particle is zero at these positions. A particle is subjected simultaneously to two SHM’s one along the -axis and the other along the -axis. The two vibrations are in phase and have unequal amplitudes. The particle will execute A particle is executing SHM with amplitude . When the PE of a particle is one-fourth of its maximum value during the oscillation, its displacement from the equilibrium position will be The displacement, velocity and acceleration in a simple harmonic motion are related as the Assertion: Angular velocity of earth around sun is lesser than the angular velocity of moon about earth.
Reason: Time taken by moon revolve around earth is less than time taken by earth to revolve around sun. A particle is executing . At a displacement its potential energy is and at a displacement its potential energy is . The potential energy of the particle at displacement is
