A particle free to move along the $$x$$-axis has potential energy given by $$U\left( x \right) = k\left[ {1 - \exp \left( { - {x^2}} \right)} \right]$$ for $$ - \infty \leqslant x \leqslant + \infty ,$$ where $$k$$ is a positive constant of appropriate dimensions. Then
A
at points away from the origin, the particle is in unstable equilibrium
B
for any finite nonzero value of $$x,$$ there is a force directed away from the origin
C
if its total mechanical energy is $$\frac{k}{2},$$ it has its minimum kinetic
energy at the origin.
D
for small displacements from $$x = 0,$$ the motion is simple harmonic
Answer :
for small displacements from $$x = 0,$$ the motion is simple harmonic
Let us plot the graph of the mathematical equation $$U\left( x \right) = K\left[ {1 - {e^ - }{{^x}^{^2}}} \right],F = \frac{{dU}}{{dx}} = 2kx{e^{ - x}}^{^2}$$
From the graph it is clear that the potential energy is minimum at $$x = 0.$$ Therefore, $$x = 0$$ is the state of stable equilibrium. Now if we displace the particle from $$x = 0$$ then for displacements the particle tends to regain the position $$x = 0$$ with a force $$F = \frac{{2kx}}{{{e^x}^{^2}}}.$$ Therefore for small values of $$x$$ we have $$F \propto x.$$

A particle moving along the $$X$$-axis executes simple harmonic motion, then the force acting on it is given by
where, $$A$$ and $$K$$ are positive constants.
If a particle executing simple harmonic motion, has a displacement $$x$$ from its equilibrium position, at an instant the magnitude of the restoring force $$F$$ acting on the particle at that instant is given by
$$F = - kx$$
where, $$k$$ is known as force constant.
Hence, in given options, option (A) is correct.
Here, $$k = AK$$

A pendulum made of a uniform wire of cross sectional area $$A$$ has time period $$T$$. When an additional mass $$M$$ is added to its bob, the time period changes to $${T_M.}$$ If the Young's modulus of the material of the wire is $$Y$$ then $$\frac{1}{Y}$$ is equal to:
($$g$$ = gravitational acceleration)
A
$$\left[ {1 - {{\left( {\frac{{{T_M}}}{T}} \right)}^2}} \right]\frac{A}{{Mg}}$$
B
$$\left[ {1 - {{\left( {\frac{T}{{{T_M}}}} \right)}^2}} \right]\frac{A}{{Mg}}$$
C
$$\left[ {{{\left( {\frac{{{T_M}}}{T}} \right)}^2} - 1} \right]\frac{A}{{Mg}}$$
D
$$\left[ {1 - {{\left( {\frac{{{T_M}}}{T}} \right)}^2}} \right]\frac{{Mg}}{A}$$

A simple harmonic oscillator of angular frequency $$2\,rad\,{s^{ - 1}}$$ is acted upon by an external force $$F = \sin tN.$$ If the oscillator is at rest in its equilibrium position at $$t = 0,$$ its position at later times is given by :
As we know,
$$\eqalign{
& F = ma \Rightarrow a \propto F\,{\text{or,}}\,\,a \propto \sin t \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{{dv}}{{dt}} \propto \sin t \Rightarrow \int\limits_0^0 {dV} \propto \int\limits_0^t {\sin t\,dt} \cr
& V \propto - \cos \,t + 1 \cr
& \int\limits_0^x {dx} = \int\limits_0^t {\left( { - \cos t + 1} \right)dt} \cr
& x = \sin t - \frac{1}{2}\sin 2t \cr} $$

A particle is subjected to two mutually perpendicular simple harmonic motions such that its $$x = 2\sin \omega t,y = 2\sin \left( {\omega t + \frac{\pi }{4}} \right)$$
The path of the particle will be
Here, the phase difference between waves is $$\frac{\pi }{4}.$$
So, the resultant path of particle will be ellipse.

A simple pendulum has time period $${T_1}.$$ The point of suspension is now moved upward according to the relation $$y = K{t^2},\left( {K = 1m/{s^2}} \right)$$ where $$y$$ is the vertical displacement. The time period now becomes $${T_2.}$$ The ratio of $$\frac{{T_1^2}}{{T_2^2}}$$ is
$$\left( {g = 10m/{s^2}} \right)$$
KEY CONCEPT: The time period $$T = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{\ell }{g}} $$ where $$\ell = $$ distance between the point of suspension and the centre of mass of the child. This distance decreases when the child stands
$$\therefore T' < T$$ i.e., the period decreases.

Two simple harmonic motions with the same frequency act on a particle at right angles i.e. along $$X$$-axis and $$Y$$-axis. If the two amplitudes are equal and the phase difference is $$\frac{\pi }{2},$$ the resultant motion will be
A
a circle
B
an ellipse with the major axis along $$Y$$-axis
C
an ellipse with the major axis along $$X$$-axis
D
a straight line inclined at $${45^ \circ }$$ to the $$X$$-axis
The two simple harmonic motions can be written as
$$\eqalign{
& x = a\sin \omega t\,......\left( {\text{i}} \right) \cr
& {\text{and}}\,y = a\sin \left( {\omega t + \frac{\pi }{2}} \right) \cr
& y = a\cos \omega t\,......\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right) \cr} $$
On squaring and adding Eqs. (i) and (ii), we obtain
$${x^2} + {y^2} = {a^2}\left( {{{\sin }^2}\omega t + {{\cos }^2}\omega t} \right)\,\,{\text{or}}\,\,{x^2} + {y^2} = {a^2}$$
This is the equation of a circular motion with radius $$a.$$ NOTE
Simple harmonic motion is of two types.
1. Linear simple harmonic motion
2. Angular simple harmonic motion
