Assertion: In simple harmonic motion, the motion is to and fro and periodic
Reason: Velocity of the particle in simple harmonic motion

(v)=\omega \sqrt{{k}^2-{x}^2}

(where

{x}

is the displacement and

{k}

is spring factor).

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

If Assertion is true but Reason is false

Option C is correct because the assertion is true (SHM is to and fro and periodic), but the reason provides an incorrect formula for the velocity in SHM.

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

x

-axis and the other along the

y

-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
