MCQ
If a particle is executing simple harmonic motion, then acceleration of particle
- AIs uniform
- BVaries linearly with time
- ✓Is non uniform
- DBoth $(b)$ and $(c)$
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
Is non uniform
c
(c)
(c)
If a particle is executing S.H.M.
$a \alpha-\omega^2 x$
Hence it is not uniform and depends on $x$ rather than time.
Hence answer is $(c)$.
