NEET Physics Simple Harmonic Motion MCQ Question
Consider a particle P executing uniform circular motion with a radial acceleration directed towards the center. If the projection of this motion on the x-axis is a particle executing simple harmonic motion (SHM), which of the following represents the relation between acceleration and displacement for this SHM?
a(t) = -ω²x(t)
a(t) = ω²x(t)
a(t) = -kx(t)
a(t) = kx(t)
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In SHM, the acceleration is proportional to the displacement and opposite in direction, expressed as a(t) = -ω²x(t) according to the NCERT context.
