MCQ
A body is performing $\text{S.H.M.}$ Then its:
  • A
    Average total energy per cycle is equal to its maximum kinetic energy.
  • B
    Average kinetic energy per cycle is equal to half of its maximum kinetic energy.
  • C
    Root mean square velocity is $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ times of its maximum velocity.
  • All of the above

Answer

Correct option: D.
All of the above
In case of $\text{S.H.M,}$ average total energy per cycle
$=$ Maximum kinetic energy $(K_0)$
$=$ Maximum potential energy $(U_0)$
Average $KE$ per cycle $=\frac{0+\text{K}_0}{2}=\frac{\text{K}_0}{2}$
Let us write the equation for the $\text{SHM} \text{x}=\text{a}\sin\omega\text{t}.$
Clearly, it is a periodic motion as it involves sine function.
Let us find velocity of the particle, $\text{v}=\frac{\text{dx}}{\text{dt}}=\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dt}}(\text{a}\sin\omega\text{t})=\text{a}\omega\cos\omega\text{t}$
Mean velocity over a complete cycle,
$\text{v}_\text{mean}=\frac{\int_{0}^{2\pi}\omega\text{a}\cos\theta\text{d}\theta}{2\pi}=\frac{\omega\text{a}[\sin\theta]^2_0}{2\pi}=0$
So, $\text{v}_\text{mean}\neq\frac{2}{\pi}\text{v}_\text{max}$
Root mean square speed,
$\text{v}_\text{ms}=\sqrt{\frac{\text{v}^2_\text{min}+\text{v}^2_\text{max}}{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{0+\text{v}^2-\text{max}}{2}}$
$\text{v}_\text{ms}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\text{v}_\text{max}$

In an experiment to study standing waves, you use a string whose mass per length is $μ$ = $(1.0 ± 0.1) × 10^{-4}\ kg/m$ . You look at the fundamental mode, whose frequency $f$ is related to the length $L$ and tension $T$ of the string by the following equation $L$ = $\frac{1}{{2f}}\sqrt {\frac{T}{\mu }} $ You make a plot with $L$ on the $y-$ axis and $\sqrt T$ on the $x-$ axis, and find that the best fitting line is $y$ = $(8.0 ± 0.3) × 10^{-3}x + (0.2 ± 0.04)$ in $SI\ units$ . What is the value of the frequency of the wave (including the error)? Express your result in $SI\ unit\ (Hz)$

A free ${}^{238}U$ nucleus kept in a train emits an alpha particle. When the train is stationary, a nucleus decays and a passenger measures that the separation between the alpha particle and the recoiling nucleus becomes $x$ at time $t$ after the decay. If the decay takes place while the train is moving at a uniform velocity $v,$ the distance between the alpha particle and the recoiling nucleus at a time $t$ after the decay as measured by the passenger is:
