A mass $m =100\, gms$ is attached at the end of a light spring which oscillates on a frictionless horizontal table with an amplitude equal to $0.16$ metre and time period equal to $2 \,sec$. Initially the mass is released from rest at $t = 0$ and displacement $x = - 0.16$ metre. The expression for the displacement of the mass at any time $t$ is
A$x = 0.16\cos (\pi t)$
B$x = - \,0.16\cos (\pi t)$
C$x = 0.16\sin (\pi t + \pi )$
D$x = - \,0.16\sin (\pi t + \pi )$

A simple pendulum of length $L$ is constructed from a point object of mass $m$ suspended by a massless string attached to a fixed pivot point. $A$ small peg is placed a distance $2L/3$ directly below the fixed pivot point so that the pendulum would swing as shown in the figure below. The mass is displaced $5$ degrees from the vertical and released. How long does it take to return to its starting position?
A potential is given by $V(x)=k(x+a)^2 / 2$ for $x < 0$ and $V(x)=k(x-a)^2 / 2$ for $x > 0$. The schematic variation of oscillation period $T$ for a particle performing periodic motion in this potential as a function of its energy $E$ is
A weightless spring of length $60\, cm$ and force constant $200\, N/m$ is kept straight and unstretched on a smooth horizontal table and its ends are rigidly fixed. A mass of $0.25\, kg$ is attached at the middle of the spring and is slightly displaced along the length. The time period of the oscillation of the mass 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: $(M = 10,\, m = 5,\, u = 1,\, k = 1 ).$
$Assertion :$ In simple harmonic motion, the velocity is maximum when the acceleration is minimum.
$Reason :$ Displacement and velocity of $S.H.M.$ differ in phase by $\frac{\pi }{2}$
A particle excutes $SHM$ on a straight line path. The amplitude of oscillation is $2\,cm$. When the displacement of the particle from the mean position is $1\,cm$, the numerical value of magnitude of acceleration is equal to the numerical value of magnitude of velocity. The frequency of $SHM$ is (in $second^{-1}$)
A simple pendulum is placed at a place where its distance from the earth's surface is equal to the radius of the earth. If the length of the string is $4 \mathrm{~m}$, then the time period of small oscillations will be ____ $s$. $\left[\right.$ take $\left.\mathrm{g}=\pi^2 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\right]$
The total energy of a particle executing $S.H.M.$ is $80 \,J$. What is the potential energy when the particle is at a distance of $\frac{3}{4}$ of amplitude from the mean position..... $J$
