Physics-Simple Harmonic Motion

NEET Physics Simple Harmonic Motion MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Easy-Class 11

Which of the following statements about simple harmonic motion (SHM) is correct?

A

The displacement in SHM can be represented as x(t) = A cos(ωt).

B

The angular frequency ω is always equal to the period T.

C

In SHM, the motion is defined as non-repetitive and varies in speed.

D

The maximum velocity in SHM occurs at the mean position.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Statement A is correct as it directly reflects the formula for displacement in SHM given in the context. Statement B is incorrect because angular frequency and period are related by ω = 2π/T, not equal. Statement C is incorrect as SHM is repetitive. Statement D is true, but it does not reflect the main formula provided.
