STANDARD Physics Simple Harmonic Motion Assertion Reason Question
Assertion: The graph of total energy of a particle in SHM with respect to position is a straight line with zero slope. Reason: Total energy of particle in SHM remains constant throughout its motion.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
If assertion is true but reason is false.
If both assertion and reason are false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The total energy of SHM is the sum of kinetic and potential energy, which remains constant. The graph shows a straight line with zero slope, confirming the assertion.
