A body is executing Simple Harmonic Motion. At a displacement x its potential energy is $E_1$ and at a displacement y its potential energy is $E_2$. The potential energy E at displacement $\left(x+y\right)$ is 

(1)  $E=\sqrt{E_1}+\sqrt{E_2}$   

(2)  $\sqrt{E}=\sqrt{E_1}+\sqrt{E_2}$

(3)   $E=E_1+E_2$           

(4)  None of these.

In a simple pendulum, the period of oscillation T is related to length of the pendulum l as:
1. $\frac{\mathrm{l}}{T}$= constant
2. $\frac{{\mathrm{l}}^2}{T}$= constant
3. $\frac{\mathrm{l}}{T^2}$= constant
4. $\frac{{\mathrm{l}}^2}{T^2}$= constant

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 -

(1) $\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{5}sec$       

(2) $2\mathrm{\pi } \sec$

(3) $20\mathrm{\pi } \sec$   

(4) $5\mathrm{\pi } \sec$

A pendulum has time period T. If it is taken on to another planet having acceleration due to gravity half and mass 9 times that of the earth, then its time period on the other planet will be:

A particle in SHM is described by the displacement equation $\mathrm{x}\left(\mathrm{t}\right)=\mathrm{Acos} \left(\mathrm{\omega t}+\mathrm{\theta }\right).$ If the initial position of the particle is 1 cm and its initial velocity is $\mathrm{\pi }$cm/s, what is its amplitude? (The angular frequency of the particle is $\pi s^{-1}$)

(1)   1 cm       

(2)  $\sqrt{2}$ cm

(3)    2 cm     

(4)   2.5 cm

A simple pendulum hanging from the ceiling of a stationary lift has a time period T₁. When the lift moves downward with constant velocity, then the time period becomes T₂. It can be concluded that: 

If the length of a pendulum is made 9 times and mass of the bob is made 4 times, then the value of time period will become:

1. 3T

2. 3/2T

3. 4T

4. 2T

A simple harmonic wave having an amplitude a and time period T is represented by the equation $y=5 \mathrm{sin\pi }\left(t+4\right)$m Then the value of amplitude (a) in (m) and time period  (T) in second are       

(1)   $a=10, T=2$   

(2) $a=5, T=1$

(3)    $a=10, T=1$    

(4) $a=5, T=2$

The period of a simple pendulum measured inside a stationary lift is found to be T. If the lift starts accelerating upwards with acceleration of g/3 then the time period of the pendulum is

(1) $\frac{\mathrm{T}}{\sqrt{3}}$

(2) $\frac{\mathrm{T}}{3}$

(3) $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\mathrm{T}$

(4) $\sqrt{3}\mathrm{T}$

The time period of a simple pendulum of length L as measured in an elevator descending with acceleration $\frac{\mathrm{g}}{3}$ is

(2) $\mathrm{\pi }\sqrt{\left(\frac{3\mathrm{L}}{\mathrm{g}}\right)}$

(3) $2\mathrm{\pi }\sqrt{\left(\frac{3\mathrm{L}}{2\mathrm{g}}\right)}$
