Physics-Simple Harmonic Motion
NEET Physics Simple Harmonic Motion MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-fact-Hard-Class 11
In the context of simple harmonic motion, what can be said about the relationship between angular acceleration and angular displacement of a pendulum?
A
Angular acceleration is proportional to angular displacement and opposite in sign.
B
Angular acceleration is inversely proportional to angular displacement.
C
Angular acceleration is independent of angular displacement.
D
Angular acceleration is proportional to the square of angular displacement.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Equation (14.27) states that the angular acceleration of the pendulum is proportional to the angular displacement but opposite in sign, indicating a restoring force characteristic of simple harmonic motion.
