STANDARD Physics Simple Harmonic Motion MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11
A particle executes simple harmonic motion between x = -A and x = +A. The time taken for it to go from 0 to A/2 is T₁ and to go from A/2 to A is T₂. Then
A
T₁ < T₂
B
T₁ > T₂
C
T₁ = T₂
D
T₁ = 2T₂
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
In SHM, the particle moves faster near the equilibrium position, so it takes less time to travel from 0 to A/2 compared to A/2 to A.
