Question
Assertion : The graph between velocity and displacement for a harmonic oscillator is a parabola.
Reason : Velocity does not change uniformly with displacement in harmonic motion.

Answer

(e) $\ln \mathrm{SHM}, v=\omega \sqrt{a^2-y^2}$ or $v^2=\omega^2 a^2-\omega^2 y^2$.Dividing both sides by $\omega^2 a^2, \frac{v^2}{\omega^2 a^2}+\frac{y^2}{a^2}=1$. This is the equation of an ellipse. Hence the graph between $v$ and $y$ is an ellipse not a parabola.
