A block is attached to a spring and moves on a frictionless surface. The motion can be described by the displacement from the wall. Which of the following best represents this displacement as a function of time?
A
x(t) = A cos ωt
B
x(t) = A sin ωt
C
x(t) = A tan ωt
D
x(t) = A cot ωt
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The NCERT context describes the displacement of the block in terms of its cosine function, x(t) = A cos ωt, which is typical for simple harmonic motion.
