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
