Physics-Simple Harmonic Motion
NEET Physics Simple Harmonic Motion Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 11
Assertion (A): In simple harmonic motion, the net force acting on a mass attached to a spring is always directed towards the mean position. | Reason (R): The acceleration of the mass is a constant value independent of 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 but R is true.
Correct Answer
Option C
Detailed Explanation
In simple harmonic motion, the force and acceleration are both directed towards the mean position, but acceleration is not constant; it is proportional to displacement, as indicated by the equation a(t) = -ω^2 x(t).
