Important Questions on Oscillations



The position co-ordinates of a particle moving in a coordinate system is given by
and
The speed of the particle is:


One end of a spring of force constant is fixed to a vertical wall and the other to a block of mass resting on a smooth horizontal surface. There is another wall at a distance , from the block. The spring is then compressed by and released. The time taken by the block to strike the other wall is





In case of a simple harmonic motion, if the velocity is plotted along the -axis and the displacement (from the equilibrium position) is plotted along the -axis, the resultant curve happens to be an ellipse with the ratio:
What is the frequency of the simple harmonic motion?





The motion of a mass on a spring, with spring constant is as shown in figure.
The equation of motion is given by, with .
Suppose that at time the position of mass is and velocity then its displacement can also be represented as where and are
