31. (AIEEE 2007)

A point mass oscillates along the x -axis according to the law x = x 0 cos ( ω t π / 4 ) . If the acceleration of the particle is written as a = A cos ( ω t + δ ) , then

A. A = x 0 ω 2 , δ = 3 π / 4

B. A = x 0 , δ = π / 4

C. A = x 0 ω 2 , δ = π / 4

D. A = x 0 ω 2 , δ = π / 4

Correct Answer is Option (A)

Here,

x = x 0 cos ( ω t π / 4 )

Velocity, v = d x d t = x 0 ω sin ( ω t π 4 )

Acceleration,

a = d v d t = x 0 ω 2 cos ( ω t π 4 )

= x 0 ω 2 cos [ π + ( ω t π 4 ) ]

= x 0 ω 2 cos ( ω t + 3 π 4 ) . . . ( 1 )

Acceleration, a = A cos ( ω t + δ ) . . . ( 2 )

Comparing the two equations, we get

A = x 0 ω 2 and δ = 3 π 4 .

32. ( AIEEE 2007)

The displacement of an object attached to a spring and executing simple harmonic motion is given by x = 2 × 10 2 c o s π t metre. The time at which the maximum speed first occurs is :

A. 0.25 s

B. 0.5 s

C. 0.75 s

D. 0.125 s

Correct Answer is Option (B)

Here, x = 2 × 10 2 cos π t

v = d x d t = 2 × 10 2 π sin π t

For the first time, the speed to be maximum,

sin π t = 1 or, sin π t = sin π 2

π t = π 2 or, t = 1 2 = 0.5 sec .

33. (AIEEE 2006)

The maximum velocity of a particle, executing simple harmonic motion with an amplitude 7 m m , is 4.4 m / s . The period of oscillation is :

A. 0.01 s

B. 10 s

C. 0.1 s

D. 100 s

Correct Answer is Option (A)

Maximum velocity,

v max = a ω , v max = a × 2 π T

T = 2 π a v max = 2 × 3.14 × 7 × 10 3 4.4 0.01 s

34. (AIEEE 2005)

The function sin 2 ( ω t ) represents

A. a periodic, but not S H M with a period π ω

B. a periodic, but not S H M with a period 2 π ω

C. a S H M with a period π ω

D. a S H M with a period 2 π ω

Correct Answer is Option (A)

y = sin2 ω t

= 1 cos 2 ω t 2

= 1 2 1 2 cos 2 ω t

Angular speed = 2 ω

Period (T) = 2 π a n g u l a r s p e e d = 2 π 2 ω = π ω

So it is a periodic function.

As y = sin2 ω t

d y d t = 2 ω sin ω t cos ω t = ω sin2 ω t

d 2 y d t 2 = 2 ω 2 cos2 ω t which is not proportional to -y.

Hence it is is not SHM.

35. (AIEEE 2005)

Two simple harmonic motions are represented by the equations y 1 = 0.1 sin ( 100 π t + π 3 ) and y 2 = 0.1 cos π t . The phase difference of the velocity of particle 1 with respect to the velocity of particle 2 is :

A. π 3

B. 6

C. π 6

D. 3

Correct Answer is Option (B)

v 1 = d y 1 d t = 0.1 × 100 π cos ( 100 π t + π 3 )

v 2 = d y 2 d t = 0.1 π s i n π t = 0.1 π c o s ( π t + π 2 )

Phase diff. = ϕ 1 ϕ 2 = π 3 π 2 = 2 π 3 π 6 = π 6
