In damped oscillations, damping force is directly proportional to speed of oscillator. If amplitude becomes half of its maximum value in $1 \,s$, then after $2 \,s$ amplitude will be $\left(A_0-\right.$ initial amplitude)
A$\frac{1}{4} A_0$

A$\frac{1}{4} A_0$
a (a)
$A=A_0 e^{-b t}$
Amplitude becomes half hence
$\frac{A_0}{2} A_0 e^{-b t}[t=1]$
$\therefore e^{-b}=\frac{1}{2}$
$\therefore \text { In two seconds }$
$A=A_0\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2$
$A=\frac{A_0}{4}$

A spring hangs vertically from the ceiling and a mass is attached to its free end. When the mass is pulled down and released, it oscillates vertically with simple harmonic motion of period $T$ . The variation with time $t$ of its distance from the ceiling is as shown. Which statement gives a correct deduction from this graph?
An object is attached to the bottom of a light vertical spring and set vibrating. The maximum speed of the object is $15\, cm/sec$ and the period is $628$ milli-seconds. The amplitude of the motion in centimeters is
If $A$ is the area of cross-section of a spring $L$ is its length $E$ is the Young's modulus of the material of the spring then time period and force constant of the spring will be respectively
A block of mass $0.1\, kg$ is connected to an elastic spring of spring constant $640\, Nm^{-1}$ and oscillates in a damping medium of damping constant $10^{-2}\, kg\,s^{-1}$ . The system dissipates its energy gradually. The time taken for its mechanical energy of vibration to drop to half of its initial value, is closest to ..... $s$
A particle moves in the $x-y$ plane according to equation $\overrightarrow r = (\widehat i + 2\widehat j)\, A \, \cos \omega t$. The motion of the particle is
A spring of force constant $k$ is cut into two pieces such that one piece is double the length of the other. Then the long piece will have a force constant of
Two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ connected by a spring of spring constant $k$ rest on a frictionless surface. If the masses are pulled apart and let go, the time period of oscillation is
If the displacement of a particle executing $SHM $ is given by $y = 0.30\sin (220t + 0.64)$ in metre, then the frequency and maximum velocity of the particle is
