$Assertion :$ For a particle performing $SHM$, its speed decreases as it goes away from the mean position.
$Reason :$ In $SHM$, the acceleration is always opposite to the velocity of the particle.

Speed $= \omega \sqrt {A^2 - x^2}$ as $| x |$ increases $\Rightarrow $ speed decreases Acceleration is in direction of speed as it comes towards mean position.

Four massless springs whose force constants are $2k, 2k, k$ and $2k$ respectively are attached to a mass $M$ kept on a frictionless plane (as shown in figure). If the mass $M$ is displaced in the horizontal direction, then the frequency of oscillation of the system is
Two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are suspended together by a massless spring of constant $K$. When the masses are in equilibrium, $m_1$ is removed without disturbing the system. The amplitude of oscillations is
The length of the second pendulum on the surface of earth is $1\, m$. The length of seconds pendulum on the surface of moon, where g is 1/6th value of $g$ on the surface of earth, is
The period of a simple pendulum measured inside a stationary lift is found to be $T$. If the lift starts accelerating upwards with acceleration of $g/3,$ then the time period of the pendulum is
A particle is executing $SHM$ with amplitude $A,$ time period $T,$ maximum acceleration $a_o$ and maximum velocity $v_0.$ Its starts from mean position at $t=0$ and at time $t,$ it has the displacement $A/2,$ acceleration $a$ and velocity $v$ then
