NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-diagram based-Hard-Class 11
Consider a block attached to a spring on a frictionless surface, as described in the context. If the displacement of the block from the wall is given by x(t) = A cos(ωt), what is the phase difference between the displacement and the force acting on the block?
A
0 radians
B
π/2 radians
C
π radians
D
3π/2 radians
Correct Answer
Option C
Detailed Explanation
In simple harmonic motion, the force acting on the block is proportional to the negative of the displacement (F = -kx). This implies a phase difference of π radians between the displacement and the force.
