Practice NEET UG Oscillations in the app →A pendulum bob oscillates as $x(t) = 0.05\cos(2\pi t)$ in metres. Its amplitude and period are:A spring of constant $k = 100$ N/m carries a mass of $1$ kg. Its period of oscillation is:A simple pendulum's length is increased four times. Its period changes by a factor of:A child's swing is pushed gently at its natural frequency and the amplitude grows large. This phenomenon is caMotion in which an object moves to and fro about a mean position is called:The smallest interval of time after which the motion repeats is called its:The number of repetitions per unit time is given by the reciprocal of the:The unit of frequency is named after which discoverer of radio waves?Which is described as the simplest form of oscillatory motion?In simple harmonic motion, the force is always directed towards the:The force that always points back towards the mean position is called the:Which statement about oscillatory and periodic motion is correct?Simple harmonic motion is shown to be the projection on a diameter of which motion?In simple harmonic motion, which quantity does the symbol A stand for?In the standard symbols for simple harmonic motion, phi stands for the phase:Both kinetic and potential energy of a particle in simple harmonic motion vary between zero and their:Describing periodic motion needs period, frequency, amplitude, phase and:The total mechanical energy of a harmonic oscillator is independent of:Why is the total mechanical energy of a harmonic oscillator constant?Oscillations kept going by an external periodic agency are described as:One hertz is defined as how many oscillations per second?Is the frequency of an oscillation necessarily a whole number?Motion that repeats to and fro about a mean position is called:Which instrument is given as having vibrating strings?The simplest form of oscillatory motion is called:In simple harmonic motion the force is proportional to the:The mean position in an oscillation is also the:The smallest interval after which motion repeats is the:The SI unit of the period of oscillation is the:The number of repetitions per unit time is called the:The unit of frequency is named the:One hertz equals how many oscillations per second?Must the frequency of an oscillation be a whole number?For an oscillating pendulum, what serves as the displacement?In simple harmonic motion, the speed is maximum where displacement is:In simple harmonic motion, the speed at the extremes is:In the standard equation, the symbol A stands for the:The time-dependent quantity in the cosine argument is the:The value of the phase at time zero is called the phase:The force in simple harmonic motion always points towards the:Because it pulls the body back, the force in SHM is called:
