MCQ
Two particles undergo $SHM$ along parallel lines with the same time period $(T)$ and equal amplitudes. At a particular instant, one particle is at its extreme position while the other is at its mean position. They move in the same direction. They will cross each other after a further time
  • A
    $T/8$
  • $3T/8$
  • C
    $T/6$
  • D
    $4T/3$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$3T/8$
b
$\mathrm{x}_{1}=\mathrm{A} \cos \omega \mathrm{t}$

$\mathrm{x}_{2}=-\mathrm{A} \sin \omega \mathrm{t}$

if they will cross each other

$X_{1}=X_{2}$

for crossing first time

time $=\frac{3 \mathrm{T}}{8}$

For a certain organ pipe, the first three resonance frequencies are in the ratio of $1:3:5$ respectively. If the frequency of fifth harmonic is $405\,Hz$ and the speed of sound in air is $324 \,ms ^{-1}$ the length of the organ pipe is $..........m.$
A motor cycle starts from rest and accelerates along a straight path at $2 \;m / s ^{2}$. At the starting point of the motor cycle there is a stationary electric siren. How far has the motor cycle gone when the driver hears the frequency of the siren at $94 \%$ of its value when the motor cycle was at rest?

(Speed of sound $=330 ms ^{-1}$)

An open and wide glass tube is immersed vertically in mercury in such a way that length $0.05\,\, m$ extends above mercury level. The open end of the tube is closed and the tube is raised further by $0.43 \,\,m$. The length of air column above mercury level in the tube will be ...... $m$ Take $P_{atm} = 76 \,\,cm$ of mercury 
A container with rigid walls is covered with perfectly insulating material. The container is divided into two parts by a partition. One part contains a gas while the other is fully evacuated (vacuum). The partition is suddenly removed. The gas rushes to fill the entire volume and comes to equilibrium after a little time. If the gas is not ideal, then
