$A$ particle performs simple harmonic motion with a period of $2 \ s$. The time taken by the particle to cover a displacement equal to half of its amplitude from the mean position is $\frac{1}{a} \ s$. The value of $a$ to the nearest integer is:

Time period of a particle executing $SHM$ is $8 \, s$. At $t = 0$ it is at the mean position. The ratio of the distance covered by the particle in the $1^{st}$ second to the $2^{nd}$ second is:

$A$ large number of random snapshots using a camera are taken of a particle in simple harmonic motion between $x = -x_0$ and $x = +x_0$,with the origin $x = 0$ as the mean position. $A$ histogram of the total number of times the particle is recorded about a given position (Event no.) would most closely resemble:

$Y = A \sin (\omega t + \phi_{0})$ is the time-displacement equation of a $SHM$. At $t = 0$,the displacement of the particle is $Y = \frac{A}{2}$ and it is moving in the negative direction. Then the initial phase angle $\phi_{0}$ will be ...... .

The periodic time of a particle doing simple harmonic motion is $4 \,s$. The time taken by it to go from its mean position to half the maximum displacement (amplitude) is

Two bodies performing $SHM$ have the same amplitude and frequency. Their positions at a certain instant are as shown in the figure. The phase difference between them is
