BITSAT Physics Question (2024) — Solution

Question

A particle executes simple harmonic motion between x=-A and x=+A. If time taken by particle to go from x=0 to A 2 is 2 s; then time taken by particle in going from x= A 2 to A is:

Options

  1. A. 3 s
  2. B. 2 s
  3. C. 1.5 s
  4. D. 4 s

Answer

D. 4 s

Step-by-step solution

Let time from 0 to A / 2 is t _1 and from A / 2 to A is t _2 From the standard equation of SHM, A 2 = A ( t _1 ) t_1= ^ -1 ( 1 2 )= 6 ....(i) Using x=A_0 t again A=A (t_1+t_2 ) (t_1+t_2 )= ^ -1 (1)= 2 Using (i) t_2= 2 - 6 = 3 .....(ii) Dividing equation (i) by (ii) we get t_1 t_2 = 1 2 t_2=2 t_1=2 2=4 sec
