$Assertion :$ In simple harmonic motion, the motion is to and fro and periodic
$Reason :$ Velocity of the particle $(v) = \omega \sqrt {k^2 - x^2}$ (where $x$ is the displacement).

SHM is to and fro motion of an object and it is periodic. $v = \omega \sqrt {k^2 - x^2}$ If $x = 0, v$ has maximum value. At $x = k, v$ has minimum velocity. Similarly, when $x = -k, v$ has zero value, all these indicate to and fro movement.

    In figure $(A),$ mass ' $2 m$ ' is fixed on mass ' $m$ ' which is attached to two springs of spring constant $k$. In figure $(B),$ mass ' $m$ ' is attached to two spring of spring constant ' $k$ ' and ' $2 k$ '. If mass ' $m$ ' in $(A)$ and $(B)$ are displaced by distance ' $x$ ' horizontally and then released, then time period $T_{1}$ and $T_{2}$ corresponding to $(A)$ and $(B)$ respectively follow the relation.

    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: $(M = 10,\, m = 5,\, u = 1,\, k = 1 ).$
