Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11
Which one of the following equations of motion represents simple harmonic motion? Where k, k₀, k₁ and a are all positive.
A
acceleration = -k(k₀ + a)
B
acceleration = k(k₀ + a)
C
acceleration = kx
D
acceleration = -k₀x + k₁x²
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Simple harmonic motion is characterized by acceleration proportional to the negative of displacement, i.e., a = -kx.
