d (d) Potential energy of particle performing $SHM$ is given by:
$PE = \frac{1}{2}m{\omega ^2}{y^2}$
i.e. it varies parabolically such that at mean position it becomes zero and maximum at extreme position.

A mass hangs from a spring and oscillates vertically. The top end of the spring is attached to the top of a box, and the box is placed on a scale, as shown in the figure. The reading on the scale is largest when the mass is
Figure shows the circular motion of a particle. The radius of the circle, the period, sense of revolution and the initial position are indicated on the figure. The simple harmonic motion of the $x-$ projection of the radius vector of the rotating particle $P$ is
A simple pendulum of length $L$ and mass (bob) $M$ is oscillating in a plane about a vertical line between angular limits $ - \varphi $ and $ + \varphi $. For an angular displacement $\theta (|\theta | < \varphi )$, the tension in the string and the velocity of the bob are $T$ and $ v$ respectively. The following relations hold good under the above conditions
A $1.00 \times {10^{ - 20}}kg$ particle is vibrating with simple harmonic motion with a period of $1.00 \times {10^{ - 5}}sec$ and a maximum speed of $1.00 \times {10^3}m/s$. The maximum displacement of the particle is
A pendulum is executing simple harmonic motion and its maximum kinetic energy is $K_1$. If the length of the pendulum is doubled and it performs simple harmonic motion with the same amplitude as in the first case, its maximum kinetic energy is $K_2$ then
Acceleration $A$ and time period $T$ of a body in $S.H.M.$ is given by a curve shown below. Then corresponding graph, between kinetic energy $(K.E.)$ and time $t$ is correctly represented by
The amplitude of a damped oscillator decreases to $0.9\,times$ its original magnitude in $5\,s.$ In another $10\,s$ it will decrease to $\alpha $ times its original magnitude, where $\alpha $ equals
