Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Easy-Class 11
Assertion (A): The displacement of a block in simple harmonic motion on a frictionless surface can be described by a cosine function. | Reason (R): The acceleration of the block is directly proportional to its displacement from the mean position.
A
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
B
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C
A is true but R is false.
D
A is false.
Correct Answer
Option B
Detailed Explanation
The displacement is described by a cosine function as given in chunk 3, but the reason does not explain the assertion because it refers to acceleration and not displacement.
