A particle of mass \(m\) and charge \(\text-q\) moves diametrically through a uniformly charged sphere of radius \(R\) with total charge \(Q\). The angular frequency of the particle's simple harmonic motion, if its amplitude \(<R\), is given by:
1. \(\sqrt{\dfrac{qQ}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 ~mR} }\)
2. \(\sqrt{\dfrac{qQ}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 ~mR^2} }\)
3. \(\sqrt{\dfrac{qQ}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 ~mR^3}}\)
4. \( \sqrt{\dfrac{m}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 ~qQ} }\)
The figure shows the circular motion of a particle. The radius of the circle, the period, the sense of revolution, and the initial position are indicated in the figure. The simple harmonic motion of the x-projection of the radius vector of the rotating particle \(P\) will be:
1. \(x \left( t \right) = B\) \(\text{sin} \left(\dfrac{2 πt}{30}\right)\)
2. \(x \left( t \right) = B\) \(\text{cos} \left(\dfrac{πt}{15}\right)\)
3. \(x \left( t \right) = B\) \(\text{sin} \left(\dfrac{πt}{15} + \dfrac{\pi}{2}\right)\)
4. \(x \left( t \right) = B\) \(\text{cos} \left(\dfrac{πt}{15} + \dfrac{\pi}{2}\right)\)

The rotation of the earth about its axis is:
1. | periodic motion. |
2. | simple harmonic motion. |
3. | periodic and simple harmonic motion. |
4. | non-periodic motion. |
From the given functions, identify the function which represents a periodic motion:
1. | \(e^{\omega t}\) | 2. | \(\text{log}_e(\omega t)\) |
3. | \(\text{sin}\omega t+ \text{cos}\omega t\) | 4. | \(e^{-\omega t}\) |
A particle is executing SHM with time period T. If the time period of its total mechanical energy is T', then will be:
1. | 2 | 2. | \(1 \over 2\) |
3. | Zero | 4. | Infinite |
Identify the correct definition:
1. | If after every certain interval of time, a particle repeats its motion, then the motion is called periodic motion. |
2. | To and fro motion of a particle is called oscillatory motion. |
3. | Oscillatory motion described in terms of single sine and cosine functions is called simple harmonic motion. |
4. | All of the above |
Two particles are oscillating along two close parallel straight lines side by side, with the same frequency and amplitudes. They pass each other, moving in opposite directions when their displacement is half of the amplitude. The mean positions of the two particles lie in a straight line perpendicular to the paths of the two particles. The phase difference is:
1. | π / 6 | 2. | 0 |
3. | 2 π / 3 | 4. | π |
A spring having a spring constant of 1200 N/m is mounted on a horizontal table as shown in the figure. A mass of 3 kg is attached to the free end of the spring. The mass is then pulled sideways to a distance of 2.0 cm and released. The frequency of oscillations will be:
1. | \(3.0~\text{s}^{-1}\) | 2. | \(2.7~\text{s}^{-1}\) |
3. | \(1.2~\text{s}^{-1}\) | 4. | \(3.2~\text{s}^{-1}\) |
