MCQ
In $SHM,$ acceleration versus displacement (from mean position) graph :
  • A
    is always a straight line passing through origin and slope ${-1}$
  • B
    is always a straight line passing through origin and slope $+1$
  • C
    is a straight line not necessarily passing through origin
  • none of the above

Answer

Correct option: D.
none of the above
d
$a=-\omega^{2}\left(x-x_{o}\right)$

so graph of $a$ vs $x$ is a straight line having slope $-\omega^{2}$

Put a uniform meter scale horizontally on your extended index fingers with the left one at $0.00 cm$ and the right one at $90.00 cm$. When you attempt to move both the fingers slowly towards the center, initially only the left finger slips with respect to the scale and the right finger does not. After some distance, the left finger stops and the right one starts slipping. Then the right finger stops at a distance $x_R$ from the center ( $50.00 cm$ ) of the scale and the left one starts slipping again. This happens because of the difference in the frictional forces on the two fingers. If the coefficients of static and dynamic friction between the fingers and the scale are $0.40$ and $0.32$ , respectively, the value of $x_R($ in $cm )$ is. . . . . . . 
A body of mass m rests on horizontal surface. The coefficient of friction between the body and the surface is $\mu .$ If the mass is pulled by a force $P$ as shown in the figure, the limiting friction between body and surface will be
Imagine earth to be a solid sphece of mass $M$ and radius $R$. If the value of acceleration due to gravity at a depth d below earth's surface is same as its value at a height $h$ above its surface and equal to $\frac{g}{4}$ (where $g$ is the value of acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth), the ratio of $\frac{h}{d}$ will be
A driver takes $0.20s$ to apply the brakes after he sees a need for it. This is called the reaction time of the driver. If he is driving a car at a speed of $54km/ h$ and the brakes causes a deceleration of $6.0 m/ s^2$, find the distance traveled by the car after he sees the need to put the brakes on.
