MCQ
A simple harmonic oscillator of angular frequency $2\,rad\,s^{-1}$ is acted upon by an external force $F = sin\,t\,N .$ If the oscillator is at rest in its equilibrium position at $t = 0,$ its position at later times is proportional to
  • A
    $\sin \,t\, + \,\frac{1}{2}\,\cos \,2t$
  • B
    $\cos \,t\, - \,\frac{1}{2}\,\sin \,2t$
  • $\sin \,t\, - \,\frac{1}{2}\,\sin \,2t$
  • D
    $\sin \,t\, + \,\frac{1}{2}\,\sin \,2t$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\sin \,t\, - \,\frac{1}{2}\,\sin \,2t$
c
As we know,

$F=m a \Rightarrow a \propto F$
or, $a \propto \sin t$
$\Rightarrow \frac{d v}{d t} \propto \sin t$
$\Rightarrow \int_{0}^{0} d V \propto \int_{0}^{t} \sin t d t$
$V \propto-\cos t+1$
$\int_{0}^{x} d x=\int_{0}^{t}(-\cos t+1) d t$
$x=\sin t-\frac{1}{2} \sin 2 t$

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason $R$. Assertion A : Efficiency of a reversible heat engine will be highest at $-273^{\circ} C$ temperature of cold reservoir.

Reason $R$ : The efficiency of Carnot's engine depends not only on temperature of cold reservoir but it depends on the temperature of hot reservoir too and is given as $\eta=\left(1-\frac{ T _2}{ T _1}\right)$.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.

Assertion A :Two identical balls $A$ and $B$ thrown with same velocity '$u$ ' at two different angles with horizontal attained the same range $R$. If $A$ and $B$ reached the maximum height $h_{1}$ and $h_{2}$ respectively, then $R =4 \sqrt{ h _{1} h _{2}}$

Reason R: Product of said heights.

$h _{1} h _{2}=\left(\frac{u^{2} \sin ^{2} \theta}{2 g }\right) \cdot\left(\frac{u^{2} \cos ^{2} \theta}{2 g }\right)$
