The phase (at a time $t$) of a particle in simple harmonic motion tells:

  • A
    Only the position of the particle at time $t$
  • B
    Only the direction of motion of the particle at time $t$
  • C
    Both the position and direction of motion of the particle at time $t$
  • D
    Neither the position of the particle nor its direction of motion at time $t$

$A$ particle executes simple harmonic motion between $x = -A$ and $x = +A$. If the time taken by the particle to go from $x = 0$ to $x = A/2$ is $2 \, s$,then the time taken by the particle in going from $x = A/2$ to $x = A$ is $......... \, s$.

$A$ particle executes simple harmonic motion (amplitude $= A$) between $x = -A$ and $x = +A$. The time taken for it to go from $x = 0$ to $x = A/2$ is ${T_1}$ and to go from $x = A/2$ to $x = A$ is ${T_2}$. Then:
