AIIMS 2019 Physics Simple Harmonic Motion MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11
A body oscillates with a simple harmonic motion having amplitude 0.05 m. At a certain instant, its displacement is 0.01 m and acceleration is 1.0 m/s². The period of oscillation is
A
0.1 s
B
0.2 s
C
π/10 s
D
π/5 s
Correct Answer
Option D
Detailed Explanation
In simple harmonic motion (SHM), the acceleration is related to the displacement by the formula , where is the angular frequency. Given and , we can rearrange the equation to find : , leading to . The period is then calculated using . Other options do not satisfy the relationship between acceleration, displacement, and period in SHM, making them incorrect.
