(c) Total energy in $SHM $ $E = \frac{1}{2}m{\omega ^2}{a^2}$; (where $a =$ amplitude)
Potential energy $U = \frac{1}{2}m{\omega ^2}({a^2} - {y^2}) $
$= E - \frac{1}{2}m{\omega ^2}{y^2}$
When $y = \frac{a}{2}$
$⇒$ $U = E - \frac{1}{2}m{\omega ^2}\left( {\frac{{{a^2}}}{4}} \right)$
$= E - \frac{E}{4} = \frac{{3E}}{4}$

A body is performing simple harmonic motion with amplitude a and time period $T$. Variation of its acceleration $(f)$ with time $(t)$ is shown in figure. If at time $t$, velocity of the body is $v$, which of the following graphs is correct
Two parallel discs are connected by a rigid rod of length $L=0.5 \,m$ centrally. Each disc has a slit oppositely placed as shown in the figure. A beam of neutral atoms are incident on one of the discs axially at different velocities $v$, while the system is rotated at angular speed of $600 \,rev / second$, so that atoms only with a specific velocity emerge at the other end. Calculate the two largest speeds (in metre/second) of the atoms that will emerge at the other end.
The displacement of a particle moving in $S.H.M.$ at any instant is given by $y = a\sin \omega t$. The acceleration after time $t = \frac{T}{4}$ is (where $T$ is the time period)
A plank with a small block on top of it is under going vertical $SHM.$ Its period is $2\, sec.$ The minimum amplitude at which the block will separate from plank is :
In forced oscillation of a particle the amplitude is maximum for a frequency $\omega_{1}$ of the force, while the energy is maximum for a frequency $\omega_{2}$ of the force, then
