Q 01 / 25
An oscillatory motion is always periodic.
Q 02 / 25
Every periodic motion is necessarily oscillatory.
Q 03 / 25
In simple harmonic motion, the restoring force is proportional to displacement from equilibrium.
Q 04 / 25
In SHM, acceleration is maximum at the mean position.
Q 05 / 25
The displacement of a particle executing SHM can be written as \(x = A \sin(\omega t)\).
Q 06 / 25
The velocity of a particle in SHM is maximum at the extreme positions.
Q 07 / 25
The phase of SHM determines the state of motion of the particle at a given instant.
Q 08 / 25
The time period of SHM depends on the amplitude of oscillation.

Q 12 / 25
For a spring–mass system, angular frequency is given by \(\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}\).
Q 13 / 25
Increasing the mass attached to a spring increases the frequency of oscillation.
Q 14 / 25
The motion of a simple pendulum is strictly SHM for all angles.
Q 15 / 25
The time period of a simple pendulum is \(T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}\).
Q 16 / 25
Damping always increases the time period of oscillation.
Q 17 / 25
In damped oscillations, amplitude decreases exponentially with time.
Q 18 / 25
In forced oscillations, resonance occurs when driving frequency equals natural frequency.
Q 19 / 25
The quality factor of an oscillator is a measure of its energy loss per cycle.
Q 20 / 25
Phase difference between displacement and velocity in SHM is \(\frac{\pi}{2}\).
Q 21 / 25
The restoring force in SHM is conservative.
Q 22 / 25
For SHM, total energy is proportional to the square of amplitude.
Q 23 / 25
At a displacement \(x = \frac{A}{\sqrt{2}}\), kinetic and potential energies are equal.
Q 24 / 25
