NEET Physics Simple Harmonic Motion NEET PYQ-Simple Harmonic Motion

  • question_answer
    Out of the following functions representing motion of a particle which represents SHM  [AIPMT (S) 2011]
    I. \[y=\sin \omega t-\cos \omega t\]           II. \[y={{\sin }^{3}}\omega t\]
    III. \[y=5\cos \left( \frac{3\pi }{4}-3\,\omega t \right)\]        IV. \[y=1+\omega t+{{\omega }^{2}}{{t}^{2}}\]

    A)  Only (IV) does not represent SHM          

    B)  (I) and (III)

    C)  (I) and (II)

    D)  Only (I)

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    For a simple harmonic motion
    \[\frac{{{d}^{2}}y}{d{{t}^{2}}}\propto -y\]
    Hence, equation \[y=\sin \omega t-\cos \omega t\] and \[y=5\cos \left( \frac{3\pi }{4}-3\omega t \right)\] are satisfying this condition and equation \[y=1+\omega t+{{\omega }^{2}}{{t}^{2}}\] is not periodic and \[y={{\sin }^{3}}\omega t\] is periodic but not SHM. Option  is correct.
