NEET Physics Simple Harmonic Motion MCQ Question
What is the relationship between the force acting on a mass in simple harmonic motion and its displacement from the mean position?
The force is proportional to the displacement and directed towards the mean position.
The force is inversely proportional to the displacement and directed away from the mean position.
The force is constant regardless of the displacement from the mean position.
The force is proportional to the square of the displacement and directed towards the mean position.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
