(b) Body collides elastically with walls of room. So, there will be no loss in its energy and it will remain colliding with walls of room, so it’s motion will be periodic.
There is no change in energy of the body, hence there is no acceleration, so it’s motion is not $SHM.$

The displacement of a damped harmonic oscillator is given by $x\left( t \right) = {e^{ - 0.1\,t}}\,\cos \left( {10\pi t + \varphi } \right)$ The time taken for its amplitude of vibration to drop to half of its initial value is close to .... $s$
A man is swinging on a swing made of $2$ ropes of equal length $L$ and in direction perpendicular to the plane of paper. The time period of the small oscillations about the mean position is
Three simple harmonic motions of equal amplitudes $A$ and equal time periods in the same direction combine. The phase of the second motion is $60^o$ ahead of the first and the phase of the third motion is $60^o$ ahead of the second. Find the amplitude of the resultant motion
Kinetic energy of a particle executing simple harmonic motion in straight line is $pv^2$ and potential energy is $qx^2$, where $v$ is speed at distance $x$ from the mean position. It time period is given by the expression
The displacement $x$ (in metres) of a particle performing simple harmonic motion is related to time $t$ (in seconds) as $x = 0.05\cos \left( {4\,\pi \,t + \frac{\pi }{4}} \right)$. The frequency of the motion will be ..... $Hz$
