Multiple choice physics simple harmonic motion representing shm with circular motion shm as projection of circular motion simple harmonic motion (shm) as a projection of uniform circular motion

The particle executes SHM on a straight line. At two positions its velocity $u$ and $v$ while acceleration, $\alpha$ and $\beta$ respectively $[\beta > \alpha >0]$, the distance between the two positions will be:-

  1. $\frac{u^2+v^2}{\alpha+\beta}$

  2. $-\frac{u^2-v^2}{\alpha+\beta}$

  3. $\frac{u^2-v^2}{\alpha-\beta}$

  4. $\frac{u^2+v^2}{\beta-\alpha}$

B Correct answer
Explanation
$u=w\sqrt{A^2-X _1^2}$
$V=w\sqrt{A^2-X _2^2}$
$\alpha=-w^2 x _1^2$
$\beta=-w^2 x _2^2$
$\frac{u^2-v^2}{u^2}=-(x _1^2-x _2^2)$
$=-(x _1+x _2)(x _1-x _2)$
$=\frac{(\alpha+\beta)}{w^2}(x _1-x _2)$
$x _1-x _2=\frac{u^2-v^2}{\alpha+\beta}$

A stone is projected from the ground with a velocity of $14 \ ms^{-1}$ one second later it clean a wall $2 \ m$ high. The angle of projection is $(g = 10 \ ms^{-2})$ 

  1. $30 ^\circ$

  2. $45 ^\circ$

  3. $60 ^\circ$

  4. $15 ^\circ$

A Correct answer
Explanation

Using the equation of trajectory y = x*tan(theta) - (g*x^2)/(2*u^2*cos^2(theta)). With u=14, x = u*cos(theta)*t = 14*cos(theta)*1, and y=2, we solve for theta.

The period of a particle it is $8s$. At $t=0$ it is at the mean position. The ratio of the distance covered by the particle in first second and second will be

  1. $\cfrac { \sqrt { 2 } -1 }{ \sqrt { 2 } } $

  2. $\cfrac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 2 } } $

  3. $\cfrac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 2 } -1 } $

  4. $\left[ \sqrt { 2 } -1 \right] $

C Correct answer
Explanation

$x=A\sin\omega t$

$T= 8 sec$
$\dfrac{2\pi}{\omega}=8 sec$
$\omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{8}=\dfrac{\pi}{4}$
$x=A\sin \dfrac{\pi}{4} t$ ,At $t=1 sec$
$x _1=\dfrac{A}{\sqrt2}$ ,At $t=2sec$
$x _2=A$
Required ration $=\dfrac{x _1}{x _2-x _1}=\dfrac{1/\sqrt2}{1-\dfrac{1}{\sqrt2}}=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt2-1}$
