MCQ
In $SHM,$ acceleration versus displacement (from mean position) graph :
  • A
    is always a straight line passing through origin and slope ${-1}$
  • B
    is always a straight line passing through origin and slope $+1$
  • C
    is a straight line not necessarily passing through origin
  • none of the above

Answer

Correct option: D.
none of the above
d
$a=-\omega^{2}\left(x-x_{o}\right)$

so graph of $a$ vs $x$ is a straight line having slope $-\omega^{2}$

Three blocks $A, B$ and $C$ are lying on a smooth horizontal surface, as shown in the figure. $A$ and $B$ have equal masses, $m$ while $C$ has mass $M$. Block $A$ is given an initial speed $v$ towards $B$ due to which it collides with $B$ perfectly inelastically. The combined mass collides with $C$, also perfectly inelastically. The combined mass collides with $C$, also perfectly inelastically if $\frac{5}{6}^{th}$ of the initial kinetic energy is lost in whole process. What is value of $M/m$ ?
