  • A$S$ will run faster than $P$
  • B$P$ will fun faster than $S$
  • C
    Both run at same rate
  • D
    Both runat same rate but different than earth

    Phase space diagrams are useful tools in analyzing all kinds of dynamical problems. They are especially useful in studying the changes in motion as initial position and momentum are changed. Here we consider some simple dynamical systems in one-dimension. For such systems, phase space is a plane in which position is plotted along horizontal axis and momentum is plotted along vertical axis. The phase space diagram is $x(t)$ vs. $p(t)$ curve in this plane. The arrow on the curve indicates the time flow. For example, the phase space diagram for a particle moving with constant velocity is a straight line as shown in the figure. We use the sign convention in which position or momentum upwards (or to right) is positive and downwards (or to left) is negative. $Image$

    A body executes sample harmonic motion under the action of a force $F_1$ with a time period $(4 / 5)\  sec$. If the force is changed to $F_ 2$ it executes $SHM$ with time period $(3 / 5)\  sec$. If both the forces $F_1$ and $F_2$ act simultaneously in the same direction on the body, it's time period (in $second$) is

    An oscillator of mass $M$  is at rest in its equilibrium position in a potential $V\, = \,\frac{1}{2}\,k{(x - X)^2}.$ A particle of mass $m$  comes from right with speed $u$  and collides completely inelastically with $M$ and sticks to it . This process repeats every time the oscillator crosses its equilibrium position .The amplitude of oscillations after $13$  collisions is: $(M = 10,\, m = 5,\, u = 1,\, k = 1 ).$
