When a spring is stretched by 10 cm, the potential energy stored is E. When the spring is stretched by 10 cm more, the potential energy stored in the spring becomes

When a particle executing SHM oscillates with a frequency v, then the kinetic energy of the particle

• changes periodically with a frequency of v

• changes periodically with a frequency of 2v

• changes periodically with a frequency of v/2

• remains constant

The displacement of a particle in a periodic motion is given by $\mathrm{y} = 4 {\cos }^2 \left(\frac{\mathrm{t}}{2}\right) \sin \left(1000 \mathrm{t}\right)$. This displacement may be considered as the result of superposition of n independent harmonic oscillations. Here n is

A simple pendulum of length L swings in a vertical plane. The tension of the string when it makes an angle θ with the vertical and the bob of mass in moves with a speed v is (g is the gravitational acceleration)

The displacement x of a particle varies with time t as, $\mathrm{x} = {\mathrm{ae}}^{-\mathrm{\alpha t}} +\mathrm{b} {\mathrm{e}}^{ \mathrm{\beta t}}$ where a, b α and β are positive constants. The velocity of the particle will

• go on decreasing with time

• be independent of $\mathrm{\alpha } \mathrm{and} \mathrm{\beta }$

• drop to zero when $\mathrm{\alpha } = \mathrm{\beta }$

• go on increasing with time
