Answer» Correct Answer - D
When two `SHM` (which one perpendicular to end other ) are given by `x = omega t and y = A_(2) sin (omega t + delta)` and when they are combirted the trangectory of the particle is given by
`(x^(2))/(A_(1)^(2)) + (y^(2))/(A_(2)^(2)) - (2xy)/(A_(1)A_(2)) cos delta = sin^(2) delta`
(This is equation of ellipse)
in the given equation , phase different is `delta = (pi)/(6)` and `A_(1) = A_(2) = A`
`:.(x^(2))/(A_(1)^(2)) + (y^(2))/(A_(2)^(2)) - (2xy)/(A_(1)A_(2)).sqrt(3)/(2) = (1)/(4)`
`x^(2) + y^(2) - sqrt(3)xy = (1)/(4) A^(2)` and this in an elipse

The equation of the resulting oscillation obtained by the summation at two mutally perpendicular oscillation with the same frequency `f_(1) = f_(2) = 5 Hz` and same initial phase `delta_(1) = delta_(2) = 60^(@) ` is (Given their amplitude are `A_(1) = 0.1m and A_(2) = 0.05m`A. `0.15sin(10pi t +(pi)/(6))`B. `0.05sin(10pi t +(2pi)/(3))`C. `0.112 sin(10pi t +(pi)/(3))`D. `0.313 sin(10pi t +(pi)/(2))`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
When `x = A_(1) sin (omega t + phi_(1))`
and `y = A_(2) sin (omegat + phi_(2))` then
`(x^(2))/(A_(1)^(2)) + (y^(2))/(A_(2)^(2)) - (2xy)/(A_(1) A_(2)) cos delta = sin ^(2) delta`
Here phase i.e. `delta = 0`
`:.(x^(2))/(A_(1)^(2)) + (y^(2))/(A_(2)^(2)) - (2xy)/(A_(1) A_(2)) = 0`
`rArr ((x)/(A_(1)) - (y)/(A_(2)))^(2) = 0 rArr y = (A_(2))/(A_(1)) x`
REsulting amplitude is
`A = sqrt(A_(1)^(2) + A_(2)^(2)) = sqrt((0.1)^(2) + (0.05)^(2)) = 0.112m`
Thus the equation of resulting `SHM`
` r = 0.112 sin (10pi t + (pi)/(3))`

At `t = 0` aparticle of mass `m` start moving from rest due to a force `vecF = F_(0) sin (omega t)hati` :A. Particle perform `SHM` about its initial position of restB. Particle perform `SHM` with initial position as extreme position with angular frequency `omega`C. At any instant, distance moved by the particle equals its displacement, from the initial positionD. initial velocity of particle increases with time but after time `t = 2 pi// omega` it becomes constant

Answer» Correct Answer - C
If a particle `S.H.M.` If comes to rest at exterm position but at external position , acceleration of the particle is maximum position .Therefore resultantforce on the particle will also the maximum pasition But force on the given by `F = F_(s)` on as and at `t = 0` the particle was at when it is at rest Therefore this particle cannot `S.H.M.` Therefore (a) and (b) are wrong
In the particle case the force is zero at the initial moment and always act along `x- axis` velocity the force start position `x-` dirfection` Therefore particles start to acceleration along `x-` dirfectionand continutes position up to the instant given by `omega t = pi` after particle moment form because negative hence position start to retard but the impule of the force from ` t = 0` to `t = pi//omega t` is numerically to its impluse from `t = (pi)/(omega)` to `t = (2pi)/(omega)` hence the particle will comes to rest particle contrinuiously increase and and then it decrease particle move because negative hence the particle contitues to move along positive direction of a `x-`axis hebnce its displacement at any instant will be equal to the distance moved by the particle from the initial position
Hence c is correct
After time `t = (2pi)/(omega)` force because position again it mean the particle start to acceleration again along position direction of a `x-` axis .Therefore velocity never becomes correct

Assertion : The gerph between velocity and displacement for a harmonic oscillation is a parabola Reason : Velocity does not change uniformly with displacement in simple harmonic motionA. If both assertion and reason are true and the reasopn is correct explanation of the assertionB. If both assertion and reason are true and but not the correct explanation of assertionC. If assertion is true but the reason is falseD. If both assertion and reason are false

Answer» Correct Answer - C
While executing `SHM` from relation
`v = omega sqrt((A^(2) - y^(2))`
`v^(2) = omega (A^(2) - y^(2))`
`v^(2) = omega^(2) A^(2) -omega^(2) y^(2)`
Dividing both side the `omega^(2) A^(2)`
`(v^(2))/(omega^(2)A^(2)) + (y^(2))/(A^(2)) = 1`...(1)
it is understood that Eq `(1)` repressent the equation of an elipe so the graph between `v` (velocity) and `y` (displacement) is not a perabole
Angle from Eq (1) displacement `(y)` increase the velocity decrease becomes zero at maximum displace and again increase with in `SHM` the velocity Thus with displacement in `SHM` the velocity does not change uniformly

A particle doing simple harmoonic motion amplitude `= 4 cm` time peiod `= 12sec` The ratio between time taken by it in going from its mean position to `2cm ` and from `2cm` to exterme position isA. `1`B. `1//3`C. `1//4`D. `1//2`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`omega = (2pi)/(T) = (2pi)/(12) = (pi)/(6)(rod)/(sec)`
(for `y = 2 cm) 2 = 4(sin"(pi)/(6)t_(1))` By solving ` t_(1) = 1` sec(For `y = 4 cm`) `t_(2) = 3 sec`
So time taken by particle from `2cm` to extreme position is `t_(2) - t_(1) = 2 sec` Hence required ratio will be `(1)/(2)`
