NEET Physics Simple Harmonic Motion MCQ Question
In the context of simple harmonic motion, what can be said about the relationship between angular acceleration and angular displacement of a pendulum?
Angular acceleration is proportional to angular displacement and opposite in sign.
Angular acceleration is inversely proportional to angular displacement.
Angular acceleration is independent of angular displacement.
Angular acceleration is proportional to the square of angular displacement.
Correct Answer
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.
