MCQ
The function of time representing a simple harmonic motion with a period of $\frac{\pi}{\omega}$ is :
  • A
    $\sin (\omega t)+\cos (\omega t)$
  • B
    $\cos (\omega t)+\cos (2 \omega t)+\cos (3 \omega t)$
  • C
    $\sin ^{2}(\omega t)$
  • $3 \cos \left(\frac{\pi}{4}-2 \omega t\right)$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$3 \cos \left(\frac{\pi}{4}-2 \omega t\right)$
d
Time period $T =\frac{2 \pi}{\omega^{\prime}}$

$\frac{\pi}{\omega}=\frac{2 \pi}{\omega^{\prime}}$

$\omega^{\prime}=2 \omega \rightarrow$ Angular frequency of $SHM$

Option $(3):$

$\sin ^{2} \omega t=\frac{1}{2}\left(2 \sin ^{2} \omega t\right)=\frac{1}{2}(1-\cos 2 \omega t)$

Angular frequency of $\left(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2} \cos 2 \omega t\right)$ is $2 \omega$

Option $(4):$

Angular frequency of $SHM$

$3 \cos \left(\frac{\pi}{4}-2 \omega t\right)$ is $2 \omega$

So option $(3)\, \& (4)$ both have angular frequency $2 \omega$ but option $(4)$ is direct answer.

The position of a particle at time $t$ is given by the relation $x(t) = \left( {\frac{{{v_0}}}{\alpha }} \right)\,\,(1 - {e^{ - \alpha t}})$, where ${v_0}$ is a constant and $\alpha > 0$. The dimensions of ${v_0}$ and $\alpha $ are respectively
One ice skater of mass $m$ moves with speed $2v$ to the right, while another of the same mass $m$ moves with speed $v$ toward the left, as shown in figure $I$. Their paths are separated by $a$ distance $b$. At $t = 0$, when they are both at $x = 0$, they grasp a pole of length $b$ and negligible mass. For $t > 0$, consider the system as a rigid body of two masses $m$ separated by distance $b$, as shown in figure $II$. Which of the following is the correct formula for the motion after $t = 0$ of the skater initially at $y = b/2?$
