d (d) Harmonic oscillator has some initial elastic potential energy and amplitude of harmonic variation of energy is $\frac{1}{2}K{a^2} = \frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times {10^6}{(0.01)^2} = 100\,J$
This is the maximum kinetic energy of the oscillator. Thus ${K_{\max }} = 100J$
This energy is added to initial elastic potential energy may give maximum mechanical energy to have value $160J$.

A particle moves along a circle with a constant angular speed $\omega$ Its displacement,with respect to this position of the particle at time $t = 0$ is plotted against time. The graph would look like
A particle of mass $m$ moves in a one-dimensional potential energy $U(x) = -ax^2 + bx^4,$ where $'a'$ and $'b'$ are positive constants. The angular frequency of small oscillations about the minima of the potential energy is equal to
A block of mass $1 \,kg$ attached to a spring is made to oscillate with an initial amplitude of $12\, cm$. After $2\, minutes$ the amplitude decreases to $6\, cm$. Determine the value of the damping constant for this motion. (take In $2=0.693$ )
One end of a long metallic wire of length $L$ is tied to the ceiling. The other end is tied to massless spring of spring constant $K$. A mass $ m$ hangs freely from the free end of the spring. The area of cross-section and Young's modulus of the wire are $A$ and $Y$ respectively. If the mass is slightly pulled down and released, it will oscillate with a time period $T$ equal to
A pendulum suspended from the ceiling of a train has a period $T$ when the train is at rest. When the train travels same distance per unit time, the period of oscillation is
A body oscillates with a simple harmonic motion having amplitude $0.05\, m .$ At a certain instant, its displacement is $0.01\, m$ and acceleration is $1.0 \,m / s ^{2} .$ The period of oscillation is
