JEE Main & Advanced Physics Simple Harmonic Motion Question Bank Time Period and Frequency

  • question_answer
    The kinetic energy of a particle executing S.H.M. is 16 J when it is in its mean position. If the amplitude of oscillations is 25 cm and the mass of the particle is 5.12 kg, the time period of its oscillation is [Haryana CEE 1996; AFMC 1998]

    A)            \[\frac{\pi }{5}\]sec           

    B)            \[2\pi \]sec

    C)            \[20\pi \]sec                         

    D)            \[5\pi \]sec

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                       At mean position, the kinetic energy is maximum. Hence \[\frac{1}{2}m{{a}^{2}}{{\omega }^{2}}=16\] On putting the values we get \[\omega =10\ \Rightarrow \ T=\frac{2\pi }{\omega }=\frac{\pi }{5}\sec \]
