What is the phase difference between two simple harmonic motions represented by and x2 = A cos (ωt) ?
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
2 E
4 E
6 E

B.
4 E
On comparing Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
E' = 4E
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 . This displacement may be considered as the result of superposition of n independent harmonic oscillations. Here n is
