BITSAT PYQs for Simple Harmonic Motion with Solutions
1.
Two particles $P$ and $Q$ describe S.H.M. of same amplitude a, same frequency $f$ along the same straight line. The maximum distance between the two particles is $a \sqrt{2}$ The initial phase difference between the particle is- zero
- $\pi /2$
- $\pi /6$
- $\pi /3$
2.
A simple pendulum performing small oscillations at a height R above Earth's surface has a time period of \(T_1 = 4\) s. What would be its time period at a point which is at a height \(2R\) from Earth's surface?- \(T_1 = T_2\)
- \(2T_1 = 3T_2\)
- \(3T_1 = 2T_2\)
- \(2T_1 = T_2\)
3.
A particle on the trough of a wave at any instant will come to the mean position after a time : ($T =$ time period)- T/2
- T/4
- T
- 2T
4.
A particle of mass $m$ executes simple harmonic motion with amplitude a and frequency $n$. The average kinetic energy during its motion from the position of equilibrium to the end is.- $2\pi^2 ma^2 v^2$
- $\pi ^2 ma^2 v^2 $
- $\frac{1}{4} ma^2 v^2$
- $4\pi ^2 ma^2 v^2 $
5.
The amplitude of a damped oscillator becomes $\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)rd$ in $2$ seconds. If its amplitude after $6$ seconds is $\frac{1}{n}$ times the original amplitude, the value of $n$ is- $3^2$
- $3^3$
- $3 \sqrt{2}$
- $2^3$
6.
The displacement of a particle is given at time $t$, by $x=A \sin (-2 \omega t)+B \sin ^{2} \omega t$ Then- the motion of the particle is SHM with an amplitude of $\sqrt{A^{2}+\frac{B^{2}}{4}}$
- the motion of the particle is not SHM, but oscillatory with a time period of $T = \pi \omega$
- the motion of the particle is oscillatory with a time period of $T = \pi \, 2\omega$
- the motion of the particle is a periodic.
