Question
Displacement versus time curve for a particle executing $\text{S.H.M}$. is shown in Fig. Identify the points marked at which,
  1. Velocity of the oscillator is zero,
  2. Speed of the oscillator is maximum.
✓

Answer


Key concept: In displacement$-$time graph of $\text{SHM}$, zero displacement values correspond to mean position; where velocity of the oscillator is maximum. Whereas the crest and troughs represent amplitude positions, where displacement is maximum and velocity of the oscillator is zero.
  1. The points $\text{A, C, E, G}$ lie at extreme positions $($maximum displacement, $y = A).$ Hence the velocity of the oscillator is zero.
  2. The points $\text{B, D, F, H}$ lie at mean position $($zero displacement, $y = 0)$. We know the speed is maximum at mean position.

A human body excretes (removes by waste discharge, sweating, etc.) certain materials by a law similar to radioactivity. If technetium is injected in some form in a human body, the body excretes half the amount in 24 hours. A patient is given an injection containing $^{99}Tc$. This isotope is radioactive with a half-life of 6 hours. The activity from the body just after the injection is $6\mu\text{Ci}.$ How much time will elapse before the activity falls to $3\mu\text{Ci}?$

A string of linear mass density $0.5g/cm$ and a total length $30\ cm$ is tied to a fixed wall at one end and to a frictionless ring at the other end figure, The ring can move on a vertical rod. A wave pulse is produced on the string which moves towards the ring at a speed of $20\ cm/s.$ The pulse is symmetric about its maximum which is located at a distance of $20\ cm$ from the end joined to the ring.
  1. Assuming that the wave is reflected from the ends without loss of energy, find the time taken by the string to regain its shape.
  2. The shape of the string changes periodically with time. Find this time period.
