Important Questions on Oscillations
Total energy of a particle performing S.H.M. is NOT proportional to





An object of mass is attached to a spring which is fixed at one end on a rigid support and the mass-spring system is kept on a frictionless table. The object is allowed to execute simple harmonic motion along - direction. The force constant of the spring is and the spring is stretched initially a distance of , the total energy stored in the system is



A body of mass is executing simple harmonic motion. Its displacement at seconds is given by . Its maximum kinetic energy is








A mass of is connected to a spring. The potential energy curve of the simple harmonic motion executed by the system is shown in the figure. A simple pendulum of length has the same period of oscillation as the spring system. What is the value of acceleration due to gravity on the planet where these experiments are performed ?
