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 $-\omega^{2}$
