NEET Physics Simple Harmonic Motion Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The acceleration in simple harmonic motion is always directed towards the mean position.
Reason (R): In simple harmonic motion, acceleration is proportional to the displacement from the mean position.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The NCERT context explains that the acceleration in simple harmonic motion is proportional to the displacement and directed towards the mean position, supporting both the assertion and reason.
